  1. Internet speed limited to 100mbs


    Hi! I recently upgraded my internet to 1 GB/s but my PC won't handle more than 100mbs. I tried changing my internet adapter settings to 1GB Full Duplex but the status still shows 100mbs. I couldn't change that setting. So I disabled Windows firewall and this time I managed to change the status to 1GB Full Duplex, but when I enabled windows firewall it went back to 100mbs. Now I cannot redo the setting to 1GB even if i turn off the firewall again. Could you help me please?

    :)

    Windows 10 Pro Internet Speed Limitation?

    Hi guys.
    I've had to mark this as unresolved and bring it back up as the issue has returned. I am not sure what it is that is causing this as I haven't installed any program that would limit, manage/handle bandwidth usage.
    Below are a few screenshots of my Programs and Features list and the list of Windows Updates:

    To also note; I have done a few speedtests and the result is the same as before I reinstalled Windows. (100-144Mbps) After reinstalling, for a few weeks I was getting my full speed. (380Mbps) Then it suddenly capped. My iPhone XR (being connected to my 5GHz WiFi network) gets the full speed.

    I have also redone the "tweaks" for trying to remove the limitation as in tutorials on Google. No help. None of these "fixes" actually work. That is to say; updating my network card driver (in this case my TP-Link TG-3468 Gigabit Ethernet PCI card), using Command Prompt with the few commands suggested to use, GPEdit.msc, etc. None of these work. Windows 10 is still limiting/capping my Internet and it is beyond frustrating. Delivery Optimization is also disabled and Limit Reservable Bandwidth in QoS Packet Scheduler is set to 0%.

    I should also note that my Private Internet Access VPN is disabled.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Update: Typing this into an elevated command prompt seemed to allow me to use more of my speed, but not 350Mbps+.
    I'm assuming it is peak times at the moment.

    Overclocking / Undervolting guide for Vega 56 or 64?

    Here's a quick laundry list:

    List of software to use for overclocking and testing
    Examples:
    Wattman (and how to find and use it, like an overview, including profiles)
    Unigine Valley or Heaven (use this for quick testing while changing settings in Wattman and checking for stability / artifacts) ...just suggesting this
    How to monitor cores / mem speeds and temps during testing (I've seen screen overlays, and others using GPUz)

    Step-by step overclocking in Wattman
    Fan speeds
    Power limit
    Temp limit
    Voltages

    Network speed limited?

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting on Microsoft Communities.

    I would suggest you to run Windows updates and check. Microsoft has released driver patches which might fix such issues.

    If it doesn't help, I suggest you to run in-built Internet Connections troubleshooter and check. Follow the steps:


    • Press Windows Key + X..

    • Click on Control Panel.

    • Select Troubleshooting.

    • On the left pane, click on View All.

    • Click on Internet Connections
      to run the troubleshooter.
    You may also visit your computer manufacturer website and check if your computer manufacturer have released windows 10 drivers for your wireless card adaptor.

    Let us know if the issue is resolved or if you require further assistance.
