2gig service
Just recently upgraded to 2g service. I got the cox modem but am using my own router. Had to change from the Deco XE75 to the Deco X55 pro because I needed two 2.5 gig ports, and also changed to a 2.5 gig 5 port switch. I have the downstairs deco hooked up by ethernet and a laptop and a tv. The switch indicates 2.5gigs coming from the main deco, 2.5 gigs to the other deco, 1gig to the laptop and 100mb to the tv. I tried a 2.5 gig usb-c/ethernet adaptor on the laptop but made it slower. The laptop has a hub for an additional monitor that the Ethernet goes through. My question is why am I only getting 1gig to the laptop and 100mb to the tv?

Check the laptop ethernet in the control panel/internet settings.
Most laptops only have a 1 gigabit ethernet port, (1000baseTX). If you actually have a faster port than that, try replacing the ethernet cable with a cat7.

Do you have the Panoramic gateway in bridge mode? If so, what speed do you get direct to their gateway? If that is fast, it's a network issue and not a Cox issue. Would need to know more about what is in your network and how it's configured. Also, what is the link speed of PC connected? Windows key + R > NCPA.CPL > Right click ethernet and left click on status > speed.

Almost every current tv throttles it's Ethernet port to a maximum of 100mg. You can however bypass the port with a USB to Ethernet adaptor which should enable speeds up to 1gig. Although this would require a USB 3.0 or higher input. The Cable Matters USB to Ethernet adaptor plays nice with most TVs and is available on Amazon for $14.99.
