Adjust settings to raise speed from 100 Mbps to 1 Gbps
Adjust settings to raise speed from 100 Mbps to 1 Gbps
Asus shared some details about the motherboard, mentioning an Intel I219-V with a gigabit LAN controller. It seems modern boards typically include a gigabit NIC. Are you using a 32-bit or 64-bit version of Windows 10? Have you removed existing drivers and updated them for your operating system?
Windows 10 64 bit Home edition is installed. I attempted manual and automatic updates, but the system reports the latest driver. My PC specifications match the original listing. It’s odd he didn’t check Intel’s site. I’m curious why someone claimed a 100 Mbps connection—could be the router or my Cat 8 cable is actually that fast. What Amazon users were saying about this?
It's also useful to check the Ethernet connections visually to ensure dust isn't blocking them or pins aren't misplaced, and consider testing another port on the router.
Keep Ethernet cables out of reach of fluorescent lights and power cords as well.
My roommate received his USB gigabit Ethernet adapter. His laptop connected via cable is performing properly. I tested it on my computer and achieved about 350 downloads in the first trial. I believe it will reach around 900 speed eventually. I also purchased one myself; I’m trying to figure out what might be limiting the performance.
Make sure to connect the device to the USB 3.0 port. USB 2.0 supports only 480 Mbps and doesn't include any extra overhead. Remember that USB 2 or 3 ports share a single connection, so other USB 3.0 devices will be using the same path as your network traffic. Standard 3.0 ports are designed for 5 Gbps, which should comfortably handle the load.
Thank you for the advice. I'm also attempting to set up Intel Wired ProSet and adjusting the Ethernet driver speed. The installation is failing and it prompts to uninstall Network Connections. I'm unsure about the next steps.
