The plan is pushing me close to 900 Mbps at the modem. It connects through the Nighthawk router, then a TPLink switch that powers into my desk via wall outlet. The switch also links to security gear and NAS. Need suggestions to boost speed toward my desktop? Right now I’m using Wi-Fi which is slow—downside is high latency.
Find the link speed setting under Ethernet. It shows your current speed, like 100 Mbps. The motherboard might not support gigabit Ethernet if it doesn’t recognize the speed.
It seems your connection might be limited because the switch only has 100 mbit ports (or possibly a mix of 10x100 mbit ports totaling 1 gigabit), the cable isn't properly crimped, or you're using a different standard like 5e/6a.
