- 1Why your LAN-connected repeater only reaches 90 Mbit/s▼Repeater per LAN angebunden, aber im Zimmer kommen kaum mehr als ~90 Mbit/s an? Oft steckt irgendwo ein altes Kabel oder
A common home-network problem is making the rounds: a Wi-Fi repeater properly connected via LAN to the router still delivers barely 90 Mbit/s in the room. The usual culprit is an old network cable or a port limited to 100 Mbit/s somewhere in the chain, which caps speeds regardless of how fast the internet line is. The advice: check cables and ports for gigabit support before blaming the router or provider.

- 4Router shows 100 Mbit but phones only get 30 – Wi-Fi is the culprit●Die Box meldet 100 Mbit Sync – am Handy kommen nur ~30 an. Typischer Heimnetz-Klassiker: Leitung ok, WLAN bremst. Schnel
A common home-network problem is drawing attention: the router reports a full 100 Mbit sync rate, yet devices on Wi-Fi only receive around 30 Mbit. The advice circulating is simple – test with a LAN cable plugged directly into the router. If the full speed arrives there, the line and provider are fine, and the bottleneck is the Wi-Fi or a repeater rather than the internet connection itself.
