Hi everyone, I'm facing an issue with my file server setup. It's running Windows 10 and handling tasks like Plex, backups, and NAS. When transferring files, I get around 10MB/s, while the network card reaches near full capacity. On the client side, it's only about 15% usage, though both NICs are gigabit. I'm considering a gigabit switch but am unsure where to start. I've tried reinstalling drivers and adjusting settings based on online guides, but nothing seems to resolve the problem. I've attached a picture of the transfer. Thanks in advance for your help!
I'm using a Cat 5 Ethernet cable, as those appear to be standard for typical speeds.
Sure, I understand. It seems the connection is limited to 100Mbit, so I'll attempt a different Ethernet cable if possible.
It seems the setup might be uneven, with one end handling a 100Mbps link and the other only seeing 100Mbps. This could cause the slower connection to hit its maximum while the faster one remains underutilized.
