Hi Abe, answers inline:
Maybe I'm not understanding your setup but are you actually achieving over 1-Gigabit/Sec throughout your home?
Yes but only on my PCs.
Do you have network switches that support over 1-Gigabit/Sec?
Yes. A few 10g connected through wired backhaul mostly. I do have the capabilities for MoCA 2.5.
Do your PCs or Macs have Ethernet ports that can deliver over 1-Gigabit/Sec?
Not my Macs - Mac Mini M2 can't. I have a couple of PCs I built that can. I'm running Linux BTW.
If you do, then you do in fact have the networking infrastructure to support faster than 1-Gigabit/Sec service from your ISP. Most of us don't so paying for anything over 1-Gibabit/Sec would be a waste.
As I've measured, yes. I agree, if you can't use it why pay for it.
Even if I had Xfinity 2-Gbs/sec service I would never see that on any of my devices as the hardware is all capped at 1-Gigabit/Sec.
WiFi is the wildcard. Can you achieve anything over 1-Gigabit/Sec over your WiFi? I'm on Xfinity 800 Mbs/sec service and I achieve about 930 Mbs over Ethernet and around 600 Mbs/sec over WiFi depending on where I'm at in the house.
Currently the only devices that take advantage of the 2.5 network are hardware I'm built. I'm currently running Wifi 7 with MLO on a quad band mesh, so 2.4g, 5g, and two 6g channels. On my wireless devices I'm seeing ~850 - 900 Mbs connected to a wireless mesh. I have segregated my 2.4G traffic to it's own network. Two of my 4 nodes are using wireless backhaul. Where I need faster networking (my Linux machines) are attached. I didn't mention it but I'm also using CAT8 for the non-MoCA backhaul.
To your point, using the faster network for Roku (awful networking), AppleTV, IPhones, Ipads is a waste.
I have two separate implementations of the network, my office and the house. I'm running Wifi 7 with MLO and everything is directly attached to a 10G switch using CAT 8. I don't run wireless in my office and the office is separate from my house. Early on, mostly because of the development I was doing I was worried my son might development a third eye or something, so I moved my work area to it's own unattached building.
I'm more curious about what you're able to achieve over WiFi.
Hope that answers your questions?
