Need some advice with strange router behaviour

[Tejas01]

Yes, I have connected my TV with lan cable from C6. After doing speedtests, getting around 93-94mbps.
Aren't ports on C6 gigabit? How to check at what speed the device is negotiating?

Is your TV gigabit? C6 is gigabit.

Most TV's only have 100 Mbps. Even high end ones. A lot dont even support 5 Ghz WiFi.

On my old Sony TV, I was able to use USB to LAN to get c. 200 Mbps speeds

@Tejas01

open C6 web interface

click on basic tab at top

click on the logo that looks like a router with four antennas (one with Archer C6 is written under)

scroll down and you should see a section for Ethernet and all the ports.

@JB701 Lan 1, Lan 2 both 100mbps full duplex.
@Sushubh I have connected two lan cables, one for TV, one for STB(hathway-android based). I can do speedtests only for STB(no app on Samsung store to check speeds).
I kind off agree with what @manu1991 said, My one connect box has usb 2 instead of 3 so I am not expecting Samsung to give me Gigabit port despite being a high-end device.

Isn't 100mbps enough for 4k stream in the end?

 

[Tejas01]

yup, I suppose it should also support 8k. That could be the reason why manufacturers go for a 100 mbps port on 4k panel.
They won't mention the config of the ports though.

Not for uncompressed blu-ray rips. The average bitrate would be far below 100 Mbps but there would be places in between where it spikes to >100 Mbps causing buffering. But yeah for Netflix, Prime Video 4k it's more than enough since they are so heavily compressed anyways

 

[Sushubh]

wouldn't buffering take care of random spikes where content is being streamed at more than 100mbps?

 

[manu1991]

Most TVs don't have enough memory to buffer uncompressed 4k rips, it's mostly done as you go
