How to tell if your router is Gigabit?

In the industry, when talking about Gigabit routers, they generally refer to routers with a wired network port speed of 1000Mbps. Here I would like to remind you that Gigabit is also divided into full Gigabit. and not full gigabit. For example, some manufacturers claim that the Gigabit only means that the LAN port is Gigabit, but the WAN port is 100M. Taking home such a router is simply useless. If you just want to make sure the router is gigabit.

Methods to determine if a router is Gigabit:

1. Search your router model on the router’s official website or other evaluation websites to determine the port rules.

2. Find a computer (the wired network card needs to be a Gigabit network card). Whether the computer network card supports 1000M can be found in the network card properties. As shown in the figure below, as long as the connection speed displays 1.0Gbps, it means that the network card supports Gigabit speed; use this network card and a Category 5e network cable (the quality of the network cable must be good, otherwise even if the network card supports Gigabit, the 1000Mbps rate may not be negotiated ) Connect the wired port of the router to the computer network port and see if the computer network card speed is negotiated to 1000Mbps. If not, then the wired port of the router is probably a 100Mbps port.

Note: If the computer network card is 100M, then method 2 is not feasible.
