I'm limited to 100mbps transfer speed.
I'm limited to 100mbps transfer speed.
A different machine is linked straight to the modem and operates more than four times faster than this one.
The actual speeds reported by tools like speedtest can vary widely depending on location, network congestion, and device performance.
Have you experimented with another cable? Have you checked a different port on the modem? Does the connection you use to link your PC to the modem function properly and display gigabit speeds on another device?
I relocated the cable to a gigbit switch but it remains stuck at 100mbps.
I understand the cable connecting the computer to the wall appears okay.
If the cable is faulty, it might cause issues. Consider replacing it or using a reliable one. Check if the new connection provides gigabit speeds between you and the switch or modem.
