I've been massively happy for a good long while with the reliability of my connection, but would always like a bit more speed... The speed-checker reading would float up and down giving an average of OK proportions but not 300... My dot1ac connection always has been brilliant..
Everything is in modem mode with a Netgear in for the routing..
Then today I found playing with Jumbo packets settings really help (on a 10year old-ish laptop cabled in 30cm from the modem/router... The tester nicely sits at 300, perfect...
The machine that had "wavy" results I found that some Intel NICs have a "green ethernet" (presumably low-power setting). Switching it off bought the full 300 on that machine too..
Just thought I'd get it out there!!
