We've got 'standard' 40/10 FTTC fibre into a Sky SR203 router, which all works fine and we get speeds around 38/8 at the Sky Router. I've laid CAT6 to an outbuilding where it's connected into a Netgear Nighthawk r8000 predominantly to run some security cams that the WiFi just won't leap as far too, even with extenders. Sky Hub is acting as the DHCP server in the 192.168 range, R8000 has auto-sensed bridge mode and self assigned itself to the 10.0 range - and it works, there's three devices running off it now.
Except, the R8000 is reporting a speed of 8MB/700Kbs, which just can't be right, and it's affecting the security camera streams. It should either be 100MB LAN speed(ish) or at worst a tiny reduction of the Sky speeds, surely?
So what's throttling it - Sky or Netgear?! (NB, the CAT6 is fine, fully tested with my trusty data tester).
