Adjust Ethernet speed to 100 Mbps automatically... Assistance needed.
Adjust Ethernet speed to 100 Mbps automatically... Assistance needed.
Yesterday my PC suddenly capped download speeds at 100mbps both ways. I assumed the issue was with the cable, so I swapped it out but it didn’t help. After testing another device, the connection worked as expected. I suspected dirty contact pins in the 2.5G Ethernet port, cleaned them with alcohol and a cotton bud, but nothing changed. I thought maybe a Windows setting had been accidentally enabled, but I couldn’t locate it. I tried changing the Speed & Duplex to "Auto Negotiation," realized it was already correct, updated drivers, and even disconnected and reconnected the Ethernet cable without success. In Task Manager there’s a "Network Details" section that appears to be the source of the problem—there’s an attached image showing the issue, but the 100mbps setting seems to have been disconnected and then re-established randomly. On fast.com I saw the speed fluctuate wildly from 100mbps to 700mbps and back, which is confusing. Any advice would be appreciated.
Apologies for the delayed reply; it remains unchanged. The limit stays at 100/100.
Apologies for the delayed reply. It seems I only have one device, a 2.5Gig port. I suspect the issue might be related to the port itself since my brother's is operating at full gigabit speeds while mine is capped at 100/100. I'm beginning to believe there could be a problem with the port. Thank you for your response!
