Hey, I just got glass fiber internet.

When I connect my laptop with a Lan cable directly to the router I have very fast internet. If I connect my laptop to the RJ45 it seems like its slowed down. It's still fast, but not as fast as when directly connected to the router.

Any ideas how I can get faster speed through my RJ45's if I connect my laptop to the RJ45 port?

The problem is I can't install new ports everywhere in every room and my router is basically in a room where my laundry is. So I won't be gaming in there, but for now I am.... because of how fast it is lol.

Any ideas? No I won't use WiFi for gaming though lol.

I recently bought a house with Cat-5e. I noticed that my switch was registering dead ports and a lot of ports st 100mbps instead og 1gbps. It turns out that most of the cable ends were crimped incorrectly. I would suggest you check your lines with a double ended cable tester.
