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.
For gaming, the thing you really care about is latency and packet loss, even if your total bandwidth is lower, it shouldn't impact gaming. Especially at fiber speeds, if you're only getting 300 instead of 1,000 megabytes per second you will have no problems gaming
If you see packet loss and high latency on your wired connections, there's probably interference, the cable might be running parallel to a power cable, it might be damaged, it might be poorly terminated.
Ethernet cable is really cheap, you can just run extra cable. On the floor even and tape it in the corners of the walls. You can fish it through the wall cavities.
If that's not an option, you can use powerline ethernet, which will not be as good, but it will use your power lines, so you won't have to run cables.
If you're still having problems, please describe your network and detail to us, including the kind of cables you're using example:
