Diagnose network problems Resolve connectivity issues Fix device performance concerns
You're facing a common issue with network speeds on your setup. With a 300 Mbps connection, you're seeing a cap at 100 Mbps when using Speed and Duplex settings. This usually happens because your Ethernet card is limited by the cable or driver configuration. Since you have a Ryzen 5 5600X with 2.5 Gbps support, the problem likely lies in the physical connection or outdated drivers. Make sure you're using a Cat 6 or Cat 7 cable that meets your network requirements. Also, try updating your network drivers and ensure your PC is running the latest firmware. If the issue persists, check if another device on the same network can reach the same speed.
We need the details on what you are connecting too. Are you plugging your PC into a switch or your router directly? We need the model on your network devices and any other details about your network. Do you have other devices that are ok? Usually "auto" works so requiring to force 100mbit is not normal.
Have you explored another Ethernet cable? It seems your current one appears to be faulty, regardless of its age.
He gets everything fast and I do too when I link my laptop to the cable, probably because of my motherboard.
I don't have much information about this because my dad set up the network and he's not available. When I adjust the settings to 100 Mbit/s for speed and duplex, the adapter shows 100 Mbit/s. But if I pick 1 Gbit/s, it displays 2500 Mbps yet I don't receive any data, which is unusual.
