August 28, 20223 yr Hi All! So I recently upgraded from gigabit to 2gbit symmetrical with ATT. Everything seems to be fine, dashboard shows the 2.5gbe change and the speedtest app is showing i'm getting around 2400mbit up/down. For some reason when I'm downloading a file in qbittorrent it will show my speeds capped at 1gbit and I'll even stop seeing updates in the app on download progress as if the port is saturated. Any reason why the speedtest app will show 2.5gbit speeds available but behavior like this seems like it's still running on gbit? BGW320 connected to a TRENDnet 2.5 5port switch Thanks for any help! When I remove my 1gbit download cap in qbit, here's what I see in my dashboard Then my app becomes unresponsive due to "saturating" the gigabit speed I'm assuming? Qbit will update once transfer is done and show everything at 100% Edited September 7, 20223 yr by spark11
August 30, 20223 yr Author just to follow up...seems that my other apps like Plex arent able to utilize my full bandwidth either. I had a download capped at 1gbit in qbit and my shows were slow to load in plex. shouldnt i have more than enough bandwidth to have a tv show load without buffering considering i'm getting 2.4gbit speeds in speedtest?
August 30, 20223 yr Does other ethernet device also 2.5/5G capable ? If your speed test was under WiFi which provide by BGW320 then you will got over 1G speed. At BGW320, the blue port mark as 5G, does it correctly negotiate at 2.5G with your 2.5G switch ? Edited August 30, 20223 yr by Vr2Io

Hi, Yep! i have a 2.5g switch connected to the blue port and both my desktop pc and unraid server are showing a 2.5gbe connection. Speed tests confirm as well! Everything else seems to be behaving as if I have 1gbit still though on my server

September 7, 20223 yr Author Does anyone here with above 1gbit internet have any issues like this? Honestly have zero idea of where to go from here...my other machines work fine, its just docker apps that seem to have some sort of cap that I cant remove Speed test run and dashboard showing that Im getting 2gbit speeds up and down Edited September 7, 20223 yr by spark11
