It's generally better to stick with CAT 6a using a consumer router rather than going higher. You don’t need CAT 5e for Gigabit speeds. I’d prefer a budget CAT 6 cable over a product that claims CAT 8. I’ve encountered more issues with cables advertising higher ratings than lower ones. Also, double-check the motherboard socket physically—since it performed initially but then required downgrading, it might indicate poor contact or dirt buildup.
I recently purchased it but haven’t tested it with any Cat5e, 6, or 6A cables. The brand is Kalron, and I haven’t noticed any issues on the cable itself. The drivers are current, and reinstalling didn’t make a difference. I’m located in South Korea, using LGU+ Wi-Fi and a modem—unbeknownst to me what model it is or the router’s specs.
the sockets look fine to me and i built this pc 2 days ago so im more confused if there is a setting in the bios or windows to enable it.
The device doesn't have a serial number label or other identifying marks on it. You can access the ISP unit directly to verify the port condition. Use a dampened cotton swab to clean the port contacts, let it dry, then retest. Regarding the NIC, check its negotiation status in hardware properties, see if Device Manager lists any missing drivers or errors, and confirm all necessary motherboard drivers are installed.
When we refer to alcohol, we mean cleaning solutions, not a nearby bottle of whiskey.
Test another port on the switch. Disable Energy Efficient Ethernet. Verify the PC is connected directly to the switch using the patch cable. Ensure there are no horizontal cables or wall jacks present.
