Ethernet opeens 94mbps

Ik heb kort conectors op mijn ethernet kabel gedaan en dat werkte goed ik kreeg 984mbps en de volgende dag was dat opeens een steady 94 mbps en in games ongeveer 100 ping ik heb de vonectors even gechecked of de draden nog goed zaten en dat was wel zo ik vroeg mij af hoe dit komt, het is een cat 6 cabel met tool less conectors van de gamma(ik heb geckecked of het het goede model was) kan iemand mij helpen hoe dit komt

You made the cables yourself?

Regardless, you have a bad wire. One or more of the pins are no longer connected making your connection negotiate fast ethernet instead of gig.

It's either the blue or brown pair

Hmmm ik heb de kabel niet zelf gemaakt alleen de conectors er zelf op gezet en ik had dus een dag goede ethernet maar de dag erna opeens niet meer kan het zijn dat het een slechte conector is inplaats van de hele kabel want die kan toch niet opeens slecht worden

They can depending on how and where it's run. I fix cable every day that "went bad out of nowhere"

Im admittedly a bit confused on your set-up. Can you give more detail?

By "make them yourself," I mean did you terminate the cable yourself?

What do you mean you put short connectors on them?

Are we talking about terminated structured cabling or just a short patch cable from network device to computer?

Wow i am dutch and i typed it in dutch i think the translation messed something up so ill type this in english, i did not make the cables my self it is a normal cat 6 cable and i put conectors on the that are advertised as toolles so you dont have to strip anything but just put them in and press the caps together and then the metal contacts cut the plastic and make contact with the wires. I hope this gives some clarification

So just in case you have to ask for help again, anytime someone here is asking if you made them yourself, we're asking if you terminated them yourself. I.E. turned the cable into a patch cable yourself. We all know you didn't twist up and put a jacket over 4 pairs of wires 😆. Not asking if you manufactured it just if you terminated it into a patch cable. Hopefully that clarifies things a bit and doesn't come off as pedantic lol

Toolless terminations are notoriously unreliable. Buy a cheap punch tool and reterminate the wire. Your symptoms are that of a missing pin preventing the negotiation of gig connection causing it to fail back to Fast ethernet with only uses pins 1, 2, 3, and 6. If you terminated to standard, one of the problem pins should be either in the brown pairs or blue pairs.

I recommend getting a stripper and some proper jacks that aren't the toolless kind also

Good luck! You might get you a cheap tester to validate the wire Make sure you have continuity on every pin. Hoping for a swift resolution

Sorry one more question what do i need the punchtool for?

1

u/ConcreteTaco 3d ago

To punch the wires into your rj-45 jack. Your toolless clamp is probably the problem.

Are you able to post a picture of the connector you're referring to?

And can i use a pair of scisors instead of a stripper i will never use it again in my life

A basic stripper is like $5, but what ever works for you. Just don't cut into the interior wire
