I have been beating my head against the wall trying to figure out what is going wrong. Just upgraded my internet to 500mb service . Have been capped on all devices at 100mb and saw that a couple cables that were run were Cat5 and the switch I had downstairs running my game consoles and PC was only 100mb .

So I ordered a gigabit switch and several cat 7 cables and am still capped at 100mb no matter what I try. I have read all the posts I can find ,made sure user access and qos are disabled,rolled back firmware,nothing helps. Tech from my ISP came out and said they have 500mb going to my router so it's my router at fault . If anyone has any ideas to save my sanity I would greatly appreciate it.

If your router isn't a gigabit router then it won't be able to attain speeds above 100 Mbps. What is the make and model of your router? Check its specifications.

Keep in mind that really old computers were not designed to handle today's speed.

You mention WiFi in your title but you talk about Ethernet cables. Are you connecting via Ethernet or WiFi?
Do you get the same internet speed when connecting by WiFi as Ethernet cable?
I have the same problem, my house is wired with CAT 6, Gigabyte Switch and the latest ATT 1 Gbps router, and I never got anything over 100 mbps Ethernet. I was able to get a little more then that via WiFI, and had the ATT tech test the lines a couple of times. So, I downgrade to 300 mbps service. Works just as well and costs less.
