  1. Network controller/slow Ethernet cable speed


    Hey so I have a question regarding my network controller on my pc. Is it normal for that to happen? Like there’s a red symbol next to it & my Ethernet has been pretty slow and was wondering if my network controller is the cause to that?

    :)

    Ethernet internet speed is slow

    My computer is getting slower internet speeds on the same network as other computers. When running a speed test on my laptop on speedtest.net it shows download speeds of 400+ Mbps on the ethernet cable. Now taking that same ethernet cable and plugging
    it into my desktop I am only getting internet speeds of 150 Mbps so it is not the cable or the router. The motherboard is an Asus Strix b450 f gaming and the ethernet is an intel I211-AT, 1 x Gigabit LAN controller so it should support up to a gigabit network
    connection which is far above what I am getting. I have checked to make sure all the drivers are installed and updated to the latest versions but this did not help. In the driver network properties, speed and duplex is set to Auto-negotiation, I have also
    tried setting it to 1.0 Gbps full-duplex but this did not help so I changed it back to auto. I also have flow control set to Rx & Tx Enabled. When running the tests no programs were using the network in any major way. I have tested the network on both the
    speedtest by ookla app, I have tested on their website, and I have tested on the spectrum site using the ookla test. Motherboard bios is also updated to the latest version.

  3. Slow Download Speed

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft forums.

    • I would suggest you to test the speed using any of the speed test website or app to confirm the upload and download speed.
    • I also suggest you to reset the wireless router to check if that helps.
    • You may plug in the Ethernet cable if available and check the speed.


    Hope the information is helpful. Feel free to write to us for any other assistance with Windows, we’ll be glad to assist you

    Ethernet Link Speed at 10 Mbps

    Hello, I have been having some slow ethernet. I went through the settings and in the properties for mt connection it says the link speed (transmit/receive) is at 10/10 Mbps. When I try wifi its capped at 520 Mbps but its very unstable most of the time, so I want to use ethernet. Here is some information about my situation:

    I would really appreciate additional ideas on how to fix this problem.

    Thanks
