Connection via cable performs worse than wireless network.
Connection via cable performs worse than wireless network.
I utilize spectrum internet's 200/10 plan. My modem and router handle the connection. For Wi-Fi, I experience downloads around 230 Mbps and uploads of 12 Mbps, which seems typical. With a wired setup, speeds range from 60 to 130 Mbps download and 12 Mbps upload. A technician verified everything is functioning correctly and traced the issue back to the PC. The motherboard is an Asus Maximus Hero VIII with an Intel 1GB LAN card. I've installed the latest drivers for the card without any speed changes. I'm running Windows 10 Pro. Are there any aspects I might have missed? Network activity shows no usage, at 0%, so it doesn't appear to be hindering performance.
Is your computer really confirming a 1Gigabit connection? Speed tests may sometimes exaggerate results, meaning a 130Mbit reading could occur even if the PC is actually operating at 100Mbit.
You're not sure how to view the device manager settings. The Ethernet card appears as a 1GB device, and you've changed its mode to 1GB full duplex without success. After testing again, you returned to automatic negotiation, but the results stayed the same.
Check both wireless and wired connections at the provided link. Are any antivirus or firewall programs installed on your desktop that might scan for threats? What internet speeds do you experience when streaming from services like Steam or Microsoft on your computer? You can download a 1GB file from the Microsoft site and monitor its download progress. Microsoft servers often limit your download speed. Would you like to connect with someone who has a laptop available for testing Wi-Fi and wired connections from the same device?
During testing, speeds reach 1Gbps. On the site you mentioned, similar rates appear in Wi-Fi speed tests. The numbers around 235 seem consistent with what my phone reports. It might be that Speedtest isn't functioning well over a wired connection. Regardless, it doesn’t affect my online activities, which is unusual. I’m open to trying it on my work computer at home and verifying the results from the site you shared. I’m satisfied with the current findings. Also, I run virus scans weekly.
I don't think you're infected, but I was wondering if advanced antivirus with built-in firewalls could add extra load and reduce speed. DSLreports seems more dependable for testing, which is why I often rely on their platform.
