Windows 10: Windows 10 Gigabit Ethernet

Howdy,


I got gigabit internet in my apartment. A wifi speed test on my phone showed 400 mbps. The computer was at 90 mbps but when I followed this guide my speed was 900 mbps. Later I magically get downgraded to 90 mbps again. I check the speed and duplex setting and it was the same at 1 gbps. I know my cables and computer can take 1 gigabit. I think windows 10 is stuck at 100 mbps for some reason. How do I unstick? PC is custom built with msiz270 a pro motherboard. I know the ethernet cable is ok.

Gigabit Ethernet network card

How can I configure my 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet network card for maximum speed in Windows 10?

 

Yet another gigabit ethernet issue


Hello everyone,

Found this forum from my Google searches but couldn't find a similar issue.

I use ethernet cable to connect my laptop to a router. My router supports gigabit connection and the wiring of the house is cat 5e. Yet the connection is very unstable on my machine and I hardly see 1 Gbps negotiation. It is mostly auto negotiated as 100 Mbps. Read similar topics and saw that the problem often lies from the infrastructure. However, I did see 1 Gbit connection a couple of times within Windows 10 so I eliminated that out of the equation.

Here's what I have tried so far:

• I tried to set to 1 Gbps full duplex from auto negotiation in ethernet card settings. (I have onboard RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller) This did not change the negotiation speed, it remained on 100 Mbps.

• I tried booting to Ubuntu from an USB drive to check the connection and it was 1 Gbps and pretty stable; by that I mean it did not decrease the negotiation speed. Here you can see the hardware output from Ubuntu: Hardware output
• Strangely, after rebooting from Ubuntu to Windows 10, I saw 1 Gbps connection on ethernet status. However, this was temporary and switched automatically back to 100Mbps after some minutes. Plugging the ethernet cable out and back in multiple times sometimes helps to get 1 Gbit connection but this too is a temporary solution.

• I tried to update the drivers of my ethernet card from this page: Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller | Realtek drivers download

Any tip would be appreciated. Thanks.

 

D-Link Debuts Low Power 10 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express Network Adapter

Price seemed kinda high for D-Link, then I look around and see it on Newegg for $215. That's more like it! *Big Grin

Anyhoo, the DXE-810S hypervisor/OS support is listed on it's product page.
