Poor ethernet performance

[Colesey]

Hi all

I’ve noticed recently I get much higher speeds over WiFi than I do Ethernet which I find strange (tested with a 2.5gb port laptop, get about 600mbps max) . I’ve had a look at the technical log and it seems Ethernet port 2 seems to go up and then down again multiple times. Could this indicate a faulty ports?
For reference a network switch is connected to the Ethernet port. 

Over WiFi 6e I’m able to get 900mbps on my phone but no where near this over Ethernet.

@Colesey Reach out to the other Moca user on the Forum and see how his system is going.

That being @martinmcd21  with I’ve utilised the unused COAX cabling in my house for wired backhaul I believe.

So I’ve managed to reconnect everything and can say I’m getting over 900mbps from one of the switch ports that’s connected by Moca….great.

However, despite feeding an Ethernet cable into the Smart WiFi Pro extender that the laptop confirms is transferring a 1gb connection, I can only get 200-300mbps when connecting via my iPhone 15 pro max on the 5ghz band. 
when connecting on the 6ghz band my connection rockets up to 900mbps plus!! I know 6ghz is faster than 5ghz but surely i should be able to achieve more than 200-300mbps on 5ghz when there’s nothing going on in my network. Starting to annoy me now this.

@Colesey Have you tried any other device on the 5Ghz band, would analyse that you are indeed latching on to the Extender by looking at the mac address, and not jumping down to the router. 2.4 strongest 5  weaker, and 6 weakest off all.
