    Ethernet slow


    Laptop and pc both windows 10 (64bit) . The cable is near other cables but I have tried in clean air with no difference. I will try disabling firewall and AV's and let you know. NIC's rated as 1000Mbps. And yes using the same cable which I take out of the pc and plug into the laptop.

    A strange thing is if I unplug it from the pc motherboard, then into the adapter card ( the one I bought to see if the motherboard was at fault ) I get a high reading, the plug into the motherboard connection I also get a high reading 33Mbps aprrox, then it get less and less as I test it a few times, down to 16.37 approx.

  2. Would be interesting to see if you get same results with a clean boot. This would isolate all software on your device thereby either pointing finger at OS or third party. If you try this I would have bootable media on hand and I would take an Image to be sure you can get back to where you are now.

    You might even try the test with Ubuntu. Don't install, just run from CD so it doesn't mess with boot records. Would still be good idea to have Image (Macrium Reflect software, tutorial within forum library.)

    You said if you test repeatedly. Once it slows downs, if you let it sit for say thirty minutes, and then retest does it reset to fast or get even slower.

    Have you tried using and older driver for your motherboard NIC, not one that Windows thinks you need?

    Thanks for your reply. I tried with bitdefender and malwarebytes off but same results. I shall now try your other suggestions. Haven't tried an older driver, I'll have a look.

    Ethernet slow

    Hi again Ken. Before i did anything else, I thought I would try running my repair software, don't know if you know about it , it's called tweeking.com. I ran all the most important repairs and much to my surprise I am now getting 37.50 to 38.70 download . So it seems to be sorted. I'd like to thank you for all your help in this, now I can sleep at night. Keith.
