Is the aggregated link speed still at 100mbs?
Is the aggregated link speed still at 100mbs?
Hi everyone,
I'm experiencing problems with my PC's internet connection speed. I've searched extensively online without finding any solutions and have not received any results. The link speed is currently capped at 100mbps, despite adjusting various settings such as Speed & duplex. I've verified that my motherboard supports higher speeds and that the Ethernet cable is a Cat 6. I also confirmed the strong power line connection at 1000MHz. All tests have been completed, yet the speed remains unchanged.
Please assist me!

My internet service is provided by Virgin Media at 1GBPS, and the router is a Hub 5 model.
All devices are linked using a Cat 6 Ethernet cable.
Here are the full specifications for the system. All installed components are listed by make and model. The operating system details are provided, along with information on how link speed is being assessed. The PC is directly connected to a specific network or device.
ISP connection speed?
Router type/brand?
Powerline device model?
Motherboard specification?
It's almost always a poor cable. Even the best ones can fail or get damaged over time.
This problem is worsened by the large number of fake cables being sold. The flat cables you see often lack the correct wire size required for genuine Ethernet cables. Because they don’t meet standards, they usually cause issues with many devices.
You don’t need anything special. Cat5e works fine; what matters most is that the wire should be pure copper and have a size of 22-24 AWG. If you can't find this information, consider buying from another vendor.
Speed mainly depends on hardware, relying on voltage and resistance detection. There are no software settings—other than being able to lower the speed if needed.
If it isn’t a cable, it’s likely a faulty port that can’t be repaired, so you’re better off with a bad cable.
What did your aggregate even signify?
What does aggregate mean when paired with what?
As suggested, if the wired ethernet connection is operating at exactly 100mbps, it could indicate a bad port or a faulty cable—try using a second cable to verify.
Or gently adjust the ethernet plug a bit.

What connections exist between the network equipment?
The path looks similar to this:
example
line diagram where ----> stands for an Ethernet cable:
ISP === (coax, DSL, fiber) ===> Modem ---->[WAN Port] Router [LAN Port] ----> [LAN Port] Office Wi-Fi Access Point ~~~~> Wireless network devices
Using other router LAN ports -----> Wired network equipment.
Don’t forget to add the powerline adapters...
You can adjust the example to reflect your actual network setup. Mention ports, connections, cables.
Is your ISP service provided through DSL?
Also, who holds complete administrative privileges on the router?
