Windows 10: Win 11 - Network adapter connects at lower link speed then specified in adapter settings

I have 2500 Mbps ethernet capability. Initial boot connects at 1000 Mbps, however controller Speed and Duplex setting is 2.5 Gbps Full Duplex. Restart connects at 2500 Mbps. Controller is Intel I225-V and all drivers are current. I'm totally confused as to why / how this is occurring. Any suggestions? Thanks, Bob

network adapter upgrade

Hi Keith,

If you're using an old TP-Link adapter, I highly suggest that you buy the latest model. It would help you getting the fastest internet connection depending on your internet speed. I personally use TP Link TL WR941ND router for almost a year and I have no
issues with the speed of the internet. It would be best to contact TP-Link support to get the high-end and cost efficient adapter at the same time.

Regarding the speed of your internet, I suggest that you get in-touch with your ISP support for better assistance. My personal advice is to get
FiOS. It provides higher speed of internet than the usual copper wiring.
Thus, I can recommend that you update your network adapter driver to improve the performance of your internet connection. Follow these steps:

1. In Device Manager, select Network adapters, right-click your adapter, and then select Properties.
2. Select the Driver tab, and then select Update Driver.
3. Select Search automatically for updated driver software.
4. Restart your computer.

hide specific Network connection adapter from Network list

Hi Mr @Brink ,

Is there a way to hide specific "Network connection adapter" from the "Network" list in system tray (network icon list)?
I have 3 network adapters, Ethernet,WiFi and Microsoft KM-Test Loopback adapter (name as KeyShot). Whenever I disable Ethernet and WiFi adapter, KeyShot adapter appears as an Unidentified network (SS below). I know I can hide it by disable the adapter, but I don't want to disable it because Keyshot app needs that network adapter to work on Win OS.







I want the network list be shown as SS below (I want to hide just KeyShot adapter from the list):




OS: Win 10 Enterprise x64, v2004 (B19041.423)

 

Which network adapter?

My friend recently came over to my house with his laptop. Before I could connect him to my lan he detected several wireless networks in the area. I want to connect to these wireless networks, but I don't know what kind of adapter I need. I searched his laptop model and this is his network adapter http://www.intel.com/network/connectivity/products/wireless/wireless_n/overview.htm

It seems he could get both N, and G signals

what would any of you guys suggest?
