Windows 10: My download speed has been limited even though I am using ethernet and isn't effecting others.

Hi,I recently started using ethernet and find my download speed is limited to 11.5mbs. I know this is a low slower as my wife is using wifi and getting 90mbs. My wifi speed is even slower as well. reaching 9mbpsIm using steam to testing actual download speeds as my speedtest is showing 90mbps. I already checked steam settings and my download is not capped. I watched a few videos regarding ethernet advanced settings and still have slow download speed.Any help would be appreciate as I don't know what is capping my speed. Not sure if specs would effect it but here is my processor.Processor AMD Ry

Hi,

I recently started using ethernet and find my download speed is limited to 11.5mbs. I know this is a low slower as my wife is using wifi and getting 90mbs. My wifi speed is even slower as well. reaching 9mbps

Im using steam to testing actual download speeds as my speedtest is showing 90mbps. I already checked steam settings and my download is not capped. I watched a few videos regarding ethernet advanced settings and still have slow download speed.

Any help would be appreciate as I don't know what is capping my speed. Not sure if specs would effect it but here is my processor.

Processor AMD Ryzen 7 5700X 8-Core Processor 3.40 GHz

Ethernet speed limited to 10mbps

Hi, I have an issue with limited speed of Ethernet connection.

My setup:
1. Modem in the basement
2. Router on the first floor

3. PC with MSI PRO Z-690-A motherboard (Win10 Pro)

3. LAN Cable category: CAT 5E

My speed checked via speedtest should be ~ 1Gbps / 500 Mbps, but when I connect my PC to router it is capped at 10/10 Mbps

[table][tr]Link speed (Receive/Transmit): 10/10 (Mbps) Link-local IPv6 address: fe80::5fef:419c:35d3:43c2%3 IPv4 address: 192.168.0.168 IPv4 DNS servers: 192.168.0.1 Manufacturer: Intel Description: Intel(R) Ethernet Controller (3) I225-V Driver version: 1.0.2.14 Physical address (MAC): D8-BB-C1-93-B5-38 [/tr][/table]

But if I add switch between router and PC then Link speed is not capped

[table][tr]Link speed (Receive/Transmit): 1000/1000 (Mbps) Link-local IPv6 address: fe80::5fef:419c:35d3:43c2%3 IPv4 address: 192.168.0.168 IPv4 DNS servers: 192.168.0.1 Manufacturer: Intel Description: Intel(R) Ethernet Controller (3) I225-V Driver version: 1.0.2.14 Physical address (MAC): D8-BB-C1-93-B5-38 [/tr][/table]

What I have checked so far: (I will update this list with all suggestions and outcomes)
1. Cable - is ok, cable tester says so as well as connecting another PC with same cable.
2. Router is ok, another PC is connected directly to the same router and there is no issue with speed limit.

3. Drivers - reinstalled - Link speed still capped.

4. Ethernet configuration - completely removed and configured again - Link speed still capped.

5. Speed & Duplex is set to Auto Negotiation, but I also checked with 1Gpbs and 2,5 Gbps - Link speed still capped.

6. Green Ethernet (ARP Offload) is Enabled - after disabling it link speed is still capped.

7. BIOS updated to newest version - Link speed still capped.

8. Intel(R) Ethernet Controller (3) I225-V drivers updated - Link speed still capped.

9. Updated all motherboard related drivers to the nevest version - Link speed still capped.

10. Reinstalled widows (without removing data) - Link speed still capped.

11. Changed cables to CAT 6a - Link speed still capped.

12. Resetting BIOS configuration - Link speed still capped.

13. In contact with MSI support - so far no solution, I have requested contact with MS to send them motherboard for warranty repair.

any idea what else could be done?

 

Ethernet speed limited to 10mbps

So we have to detect what is limiting your connection speed. Did you try changing the ethernet cable?
