1 GBPs wired data rate.

Pash02 — Thu, 22 Feb 2024 18:27:33 GMT

Since my erro update last night my eero is showing 1 GBPs wired data rate.

I've never noticed this before and have turned both euros off for 30 minutes and then turn the main eero on and after 5 minutes turned thev2nd eero on.

But I still have the 1 Gbps thing.

The cables are fine and nothing has been touched.

Advice please.

Thanks

The wired data rate is the speed of the Ethernet connection to and from the eero 6. The data ports are 1Gbps ports. Tap the circled i symbol and it'll explain more.

I hope I've helped you appreciate that what you see is perfectly normal and satisfactory.

Thanks for that @Gondola

Really would like it a higher figure because i am greedy hahaha.

The eero is conected via a Cat 6a cable and only 2 mtr long on top of a kitchen cupboard.

Thanks again.

Hey Patrick

Your Cat6a cable future-proofs your connection speed at up to 10Gbps.

So all you need is to await the introduction by TalkTalk of the eero Max 7 router that has 2 x 10Gbps Ethernet ports and 2 x 2.5Gbps Ethernet ports. Advertised as a whole new level of fast and at a whole new price point of around £600 per router! At that price TalkTalk would have to charge for the hardware or have significantly higher monthly fees.

There are some Alternative Full Fibre providers that are installing 10Gbps full fibre networks including TalkTalk's partner CityFibre.

@Pash02

How is this an issue when the fastest service from TalkTalk is 900Mbps?
