All Day Posted February 10, 2021 Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 I have the Ilox AN5506-02-F Modem. Is anybody using a router that is negotiating with the modem at 1000Mbps? If so, what is the make and model of the router? I have a TP Link Archer A9 and I can't get it to communicate with the modem at more than 100Mbps, so all my wireless devices are capped at 100Mbps. I have the 350Mpbs package with Ilox. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dencol Posted February 10, 2021 Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 All depends at what the Max speed of your devices are, you need to check this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out1 Posted February 10, 2021 Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 Check the cable from your modem to the wireless router; some cables are recognized at the router as 100 Mbps max speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I've tried different cables, all Cat6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out1 Posted February 10, 2021 Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 There is a free PC program "Acrylic WiFi home" that will tell you what it thinks is the available wifi speed from your router. My router is an Asus RT-AC86U and recently getting 125 mbps WiFi download speeds on my laptop; measured with nperf.com. I have the 100 mbps Ilox package. Since you are saying all your devices are throttled to 100 mbps; is that both hard wired and Wifi? I sort of remember hearing once that one of the ports on the Ilox modem was throttled at 100; try the other port. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dencol Posted February 10, 2021 Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 Your laptop,PC, cell phone, these devices may only be capable of 100Mbps wifi and nothing more. Most older devices are topped out at 100 Mbps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dencol Posted February 10, 2021 Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 Most older devices have a Max speed off 100 Mbps, that speed is for WiFi and Lan connections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Wi-Fi Adapter (Intel 3650) shows max speed of 433.3Mbps. Hard wired I'm getting 350Mbps. I can't find any options to change the port in the modem setup, it's currently set to 80.

Out1 Posted February 10, 2021 Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 Hardwired 350 to what the Ilox modem or the TP-Link router? Port set at 80 on the TP-Link router ? usually there is a maximum bandwidth setting but I can't help you much more than that. Try help files at TP-Link.

Port set to 80 on Ilox modem. I have the option on the TP Link to set Duplex to 1000Mbps, but it won't apply the settings. It must have something to do with the router/modem handshake, or perhaps a faulty router. Hey, thanks for your time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All Day Posted February 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 OK, I finally figured it out. My Ilox AN5506-02-F has two Lan ports. Port 1 supports 1000Mbps while Port 2 only supports 100Mbps. I plugged my TP Link into Port 1 and now have 220Mbps wireless (5Ghz) according to Fast.com Even faster on Ookla: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
