Hello everyone, I’m facing an issue with my computer reaching over 130mb/s. My current connection provides 300mb/s and works well on my laptop. I’ve tried removing the Intel Ethernet/LAN driver and reinstalling it via the ASUS armory crate. The latest driver version is 12.18.8.9 (7) I219v. In Device Manager I see an unknown Ethernet controller listed under Other Devices. Thanks for your help!

The router supports only 100 Mbps Ethernet ports, so you won’t exceed that speed over a wired link. Check your motherboard’s specifications, visit the manufacturer’s site for your model, and download the LAN drivers there.

Verify your cables and ensure your switches or routers support gigabit Ethernet. Consider performing an iPerf3 test to assess your network speed.
