Replaced the cable that was provided by Cox during install that was going from the ONT to the Modem/Router and that was the issue! Getting 950-980mbps up/down now!
Though you MAY have a 2.5gb ethernet, it may not be RUNNING at 2.5gb. I have an Alienware R16 with a 2.5gb ethernet, but found it was default configured for 100 mbps.
ALSO, it is important that you are connected to the correct port on the router. The pano modem, I believe uses Port 4 for fast ethernet, Other routers may aggregate 2 ports and may need to be configured for fast ethernet
Here is my equipment I was provided. PW8
Brand: TECHNICOLOR
Model: CGM4981COM
Fiber Household Terminal
Brand: NOKIA
Model: G-010G-T
The other ports on the Modem/Router are all 1GB capable and port 4 is 2.5GB capable but is reserved for connecting to the ONT
Then you will need to purchase a router instead of using the PW8. Since port 4 is the ONLY port capable of faster than 1gb, and it's used for the ONT, you are limited to 1gb on the other 3 ports. WHILE that doesn't limit the TOTAL speed of the internet, since the speeds are shared through all ports and WiFi, if you want your computer to reach top speed, you will need your own router.
