    Ethernet suddenly running at 100Mbps instead of 1000Mbps


    Hi,

    So, a few weeks ago I had some problems with getting 1000Mbps running (it ran at 100Mbps) on the motherboards ethernet port. It ended in me buying a PCI-E express card, and the connection started running at 1000Mbps.

    The PCI-e card is of model TP-Link TG-3468.
    The router is of model ASUS RT-AX82U.
    My Windows Version is "Version 20H2 (OS Build 19042.746)"

    Fast forward to yesterday, when I (unrelatedly) installed a switch between the router and a couple of other connected devices. I noticed that my desktop computer started running at 100Mbps again, and I can't get it to run at 1000Mbps. I'm not sure that it's related to me installing the switch (it shouldn't be).

    Some things I've tried/other info:

    • The desktop computer not getting gigabit speed is not connected to the switch - it's connected directly to the router.
    • I tried connecting a Raspberry Pi 4 with the same cable that the desktop computer is using, and it gets 1000Mbps speed. So - the cable doesn't seem to be the problem.
    • I tried switching the PCI-E slot that the gigabit card is installed into, and it doesn't make a difference-.
    • I tried installing the latest drivers (both from TP-Link:s website, and Windows Update). No difference.
    • I tried forcing gigabit speed in the settings of the adapter, but it still connects with 100Mbps.
    • I think some Windows Updates was installed a few days ago. Don't know if it could be

    Does anyone have any suggestions in getting my connection to run at 1000Mbps again?

    :)

    Gateway speed will choke both, try connecting the NAS directly to the ethernet card to achieve your goal. Else buy a high speed router/gateway whichi can provide the said transfer speed.
