Windows 10: ethernet speeds go lower by the day

when i got my laptop a few years ago and almost ayear ago my pc my ethernet speeds where always around 500mbps but after a few months it goes down to under 100, i tried everything i could find on internet but it never went back to 500 until i factory reset my pc and ive been doing that every 2-3 months for the last 6 years but today i factory reset and its still limited to 80-90. all the other times it happened it was def software otherwise it wouldnt be fixed by the factory reset but now maybe its hardware but i dont think so since 2 months ago the internet company came here just to try and f

Ethernet speed limited to 10mbps

I would suggest you back out until the new cables come in.

The computer and Router are negotiating a connection speed and something is wrong, so it lowers the speed in order to avoid data corruption. This is probably not even involved with the Internet side of the Router.

I do remember something regarding the Router involving traffic monitoring and turning some of that off may help the Ethernet.

 

CPU speed much lower than base speed

My computer has been slow for quite a while now even while performing basic tasks such as web browsing (to the point where simply typing into a search bar can take several seconds before the computer shows me that I've typed anything) and I've finally gotten around to trying to search for a solution. I noticed that the speed listed on the performance tab of task manager is significantly lower than the base speed listed there (0.78GHz vs 2.59GHz) See here I suspect that this may be largely what is causing my problems.

I have tried the following things to bring this speed closer to my base speed:

• Moving the power management slider to "Best performance" See here
  
• Increased the minimum processor state when plugged in to 100% See here
  
• Turned off Speedstep in my Bios (which is described in the BIOS as forcing my CPU into its maximum performance mode
  
• Turned off C-states in my BIOS which is described in the BIOS as allowing the processor to be put in other performance modes
  

Notably I have been trying the fixes recommended in this thread: Maximum Processor Speed Lower Than It Should Be

Any advice on steps I can take short of reinstalling Windows is greatly appreciated!

Slow Download Speed

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft forums.

• I would suggest you to test the speed using any of the speed test website or app to confirm the upload and download speed.
• I also suggest you to reset the wireless router to check if that helps.
  
• You may plug in the Ethernet cable if available and check the speed.
