Hi all

 

I recently upgrade from 2D HF1000 to 2000. Before(when using 1000), as most of time I used it for 1080P video stream, it works  alright... Then now I upgrade to 2000, so I expect to take it to 4K video stream as they put in their ads.  But after using for a month, I feel sometime, the network is not stable. And yesterday, I did a speed test(never do that before) on speedtest.net, the result comes confused me, showing download speed is around 17mbps-20mbps, I just wonder if this is right? Because I think literly it should be close 2000mbps? I am not sure my understanding is right for "Hyperfibre 2000 means download speed should be around 2000mbps",or it should be caculate by another way?  So I wonder if there is anyone else is using 2D Hyperfibre 2000 can give me an idea if this is right. Thanks in advance.

 

BTW, the router is Fritz 7490

I will repeat some of the stuff here but in bullet points:

 

     

  1. You don't need 2 Gbps for 4K
  2. Test? Over Ethernet only, never Wi-Fi
  3. Your old Fritz 7490 can barely support 1 Gbps (even the 7590 won't do 2 Gbps) so that's a bottleneck
  4. Your wireless card does not support fast networks
  5. Your house has a weird shape for Wi-Fi - consider a decent router and perhaps some mesh network nodes if possible linking those via Ethernet
  6. Even with a mesh network and a good router, consider 1 Gbps only - paying too much for 4K
