2 Gb internet only getting <1 Gb download

Please help. Several calls have not resolved this issue.

I am subscribed to 2 Gb internet. At most I get ~950 Mb download speed, via ethernet directly to the XB8 modem. Not over the shared WiFi.

Are you using the gateway's 2.5 Gb port (red dot or stripe)? The other 3 ports are only 1 Gb and will only run at 940 Mb or so. Also a surprising number of devices only have 1 Gb ports and will be limited to 940 Mb.

o.m.g.

I cannot believe it only has one 2.5 Gb port. I cannot believe ZERO tech reps informed me of that - I didn't check the specs online because the tech reps SAID all the ports were 2.5 Gb.

Thank you!!!

Hey there Strangehaven  thanks so much for taking the time to reach out here on our Forums! It sounds like @BruceW pointed us in the right direction. Are you now able to get more than 950 Mbps on the wired connection?
