Pre-furnished apartments often hide network infrastructure that fails to support modern internet speeds. Homeowners who expect gigabit performance frequently find their connections capped at 100 Mbps due to outdated cabling and poor connector quality. This bottleneck renders expensive interior renovations ineffective for digital connectivity needs.
Replacing old wiring and ports boosts speeds from 100 to over 900 Mbps
Blogger Han Lu addressed this issue by replacing the original Cat5 cables and substandard RJ45 connectors in a pre-furnished apartment. The renovation involved swapping out wall ports for Youbeikuai U7 Panel Access Points to improve signal distribution. This hardware shift targets the physical layer limitations that previously throttled data throughput.

The original setup suffered from three defective crystal heads that acted as the primary cause for speed reduction. Overheating routers stored in a sealed double-layer weak current box further degraded performance. The new configuration enables the 5GHz 160MHz frequency band to maximize available bandwidth.
Testing after the renovation showed stable speeds exceeding 900 Mbps in any location throughout the home. Han Lu noted that substandard connectors are the number one culprit for speed reduction. The blogger also stated that no matter how expensive the hardcover decoration is, the networking is all a scam.
Entry-level reliable whole-house networking equipment costs approximately 2000 to 3000 CNY (around $444). This investment allows users to bypass the limitations of original construction-grade cabling. The upgrade provides a practical solution for achieving consistent high-speed internet access.
