device remains slow at 100mbps despite having high-speed internet connection
Typically, a faulty Ethernet connection is the main issue. I’d start by replacing the cables and checking they’re at least Cat5e rated, with Cat6 being better. Another frequent problem is the router not handling a 1GB LAN properly. Could you tell me which router your ISP provided?
Confirming the correct units are in place, as they significantly impact understanding.
Yes, a 1Gb/s connection provides roughly 100 MB per second (about 125 in theory, but real speeds tend near 100). Remembering that one byte equals eight bits helps clarify things. This explanation is based on megabits for internet speeds and megabytes or gigabytes for storage.
Speedtest.net displays connection speeds such as download and upload rates, latency, and network performance metrics for various locations.
I can't send screenshots directly, but I can guide you on how to check your internet speeds and Ethernet performance. You can visit speedtest.net to view your results, and verify your Ethernet port speed using your motherboard model or manual. Also, confirm the cable rating matches your connection type. Let me know if you need further help!
