I've set up a 250mbps connection using Cat 6 from router to computer room. The cable connects to a gigabit switch, which then links to a Cat 6 cable at your PC. Windows reports a 100/100 connection, but when you remove the cable from the PC and plug it into your laptop, it reaches 250mbps. Your system has Gigabit Ethernet, yet it doesn't function as expected. Any suggestions? I've already tried restarts, changing cables, and switching ports.
No, I don't have the motherboard LAN/ethernet driver installed.
You chose the A or B standard manually? I suspect there might have been a mix-up. Typically, the first range begins with 192.168.1.1 because most ISP gear starts there. If you're comfortable setting up your own DHCP and handling subnets, it's odd you can't figure this out.
The cable connecting my switch was twisted by my dad; I have no idea how he did it, but the one supplying my computer comes from Virgin.
Could your father have handled the network setup and intentionally restricted your internet speed using your device's unique identifier?
