Windows 10: Ethernet internet speed problems

Hello fellow redditors. A week ago I installed a 50 meter ethernet cable directly from my router to my HP Omen Laptop to increase my internet speeds, but mainly to have a reliable connection so that I dont get disconnected from the online classes. I have noticed a problem with the internet speeds: when I turn on the laptop, the download speed is sort of limited to 90mb/s, if I disconnect and reconnect the ethernet cable multiple times (like 2 or 3 times) the internet download speeds goes back to the normal of 650mb/s (the upload speeds dont seem to be under this effect, they are constant) do any of you know why this could be? thanks in advance!

internet speed slows down

Hi Barry,

Having an outdated Ethernet card driver, faulty Ethernet cable, and outdated modem firmware are a few factors that affect the internet speed. If you have a spare Ethernet cable, then I suggest replacing the one you're using to determine if its the cable
that's causing your internet speed to slow down.

You may also update the driver of your Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet card. If the issue is triggered by having an outdated driver, then you can have Windows to search automatically for updated driver software to help fix and address the problem. Kindly check
out Update drivers in Windows 10 and follow the steps provided in updating the drivers.

If the above steps won't help, then I recommend that you get in touch with the WOW support team to check the modem. Since they're your Internet Service Provider, then they are the appropriate support to look into the modem and perform necessary updates or
troubleshooting on the device.

Should you have further queries, feel free to post back.

Regards.

 

Ethernet internet speed is slow

Hi, franco d'esaro,

The desktop is connected directly to the router through an ethernet cable. Then the router is connected to the modem. If I take my laptop and disable all wireless communications then connect it to the ethernet cable used for the desktop I get speeds up to
400 Mbps but if I take that same cable and connect it to my desktop I only get speeds up to 150 Mbps even though I'm using a gigabit ethernet port. I tried running the computer with a clean boot as suggested in the link you sent but this did not end up fixing
the problem.

 

Ethernet internet speed is slow

Hi JadenLay and thanks for reaching out. My name is Joseph. I'm an independent advisor. I'll be happy to help you out today.

I would suggest you refer to the below steps and check if it helps to resolve the issue.

Solution 1. Refresh Network.

1. Open CMD as an administrator mode.

2. Type in the following,

ipconfig /release <Press Enter>

ipconfig /renew <Press Enter>

ipconfig /flushdns <Press Enter>

ipconfig /registerdns <Press Enter>

nbtstat -rr <Press Enter>

netsh int ip reset all <Press Enter>

netsh winsock reset <Press Enter>

3. Check to see whether or not the problem has been resolved.

Solution 2. Disable Large Send Offload (LSO).

If you’re experiencing slow LAN speed on your Windows 10 PC, the issue might be a Large Send Offload feature. In order to solve the problem, you just need to disable this feature by doing the following:

1. Press Windows Key + X and choose Device Manager from the list.

2. Double-click on your Network Card and click on the Advanced tab.

3. Select Large Send Offload V2 (IPv4) and set the value to Disabled.

4. Do the same for Large Send Offload V2 (IPv6).

5. Click OK.

Solution 3. Change your DNS settings

If you’re having issues with slow LAN speed, the problem might be your DNS.

This issue is usually related to your ISP and its DNS, but you can always change your DNS. This process is relatively simple, and you can do it by following these steps:

1. Type Network and Sharing Center. Select the first result.

2. Go to Change adapter settings, right-click the Ethernet network interface, and select Properties

3. Select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and go to Properties.

4. Select the “Use the following DNS server addresses” option and type your preferred and alternate DNS addresses.

5. You can use Google’s Public DNS addresses 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4, OpenDNS addresses 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 or other DNS addresses.

6. Check to see whether or not the problem has been resolved.
