So I got fiber installed yesterday and it works fine except for one thing. When using WiFi I get the full speed of 350 mbps. But when I connect my pc to my router with a pan cable(cat6) it locks at 100. I have no idea what to do I called my isp so many times and they’ve been of no help.

      It may have just been a defective or improperly made cable. Even cat 5 can support gigabit links if manufactured properly.

      What brand was the store cable? How long? Can you share pictures of it, especially of the plugs showing the wired inside?

      Order from a reputable company, on Amazon. Monoprice is my go to. The Monoprice Slimrun cables are nice.

      Stay away from anything ‘rated’ higher than CAT6 or CAT6A as well as flat cable.
