  1. Unable to get gigabit internet


    I'm supposed to have gigabit internet speeds.

    On my Windows 10 laptop I am able to achieve gigabit speeds.

    On my Windows 10 PC I am not able to.


    In safe mode I can get about 300 mbps both up and downstream, but on normal boot and login I can get barely 100 mbps download. Upload speeds are faster, about 150mbps.


    Windows 10 Pro version 1909 32-bit

    AMD-A6 5400K

    4 Gigs ram

    Realtek PCIe GbE family driver 10.43.723.2020 latest


    Here's what I've tried to no effect:

    • Controller properties speed/duplex: forced to 1Gb - no effect; auto negotiate - no effect

    • Turned off power saving features to NIC

    • Ran system file checker and chkdsk /r

    • Upgraded patch cable to cat6 and verified with another computer and it does get gigabit speeds

    • Disabled Windows Firewall

    • Disabled antivirus

    • Tried unplugging all peripherals and power and letting power discharge


    Any other tips?

    :)
