Fiber optic cable installed with router results in slower internet speed

Home / Fiber optic cable installed with router results in slower internet speed

This happens when the signal weakens as it travels through the cable, leading to slower data transmission and unreliable connections 1. Fiber can improve the connection coming into your home, but it can't automatically fix what happens after that signal reaches your router, your Wi-Fi, or, ultimately, whichever devices you want to use. Fiber optic networks are celebrated for their speed and reliability, but even the best systems can encounter problems. High-Speed Data Transmission: Fiber optics provide significantly higher bandwidth than copper cables, enabling faster internet speeds. I was expecting dl speeds of 900+ on wired connection and 600+ on wifi when close to router, what I am getting is 100 (dl) on wired and max of 350mb on wifi when sitting on top of the router, other rooms in my apartment are getting 50-200~ on the wifi network. Also, each mesh router does not recognize the other unless they are placed practically.
