Link secured at 100 Mbps derived from 1Gbps capacity
Hi, your connection has dropped significantly compared to your usual speeds. On your current setup, you're seeing around 100Mbps download and 1Gbps upload, which is much lower than the 120MB/s you typically get. The issue seems to be with the switch or possibly a recent change in your network configuration. You mentioned trying different sites and apps, but LogMeIn Hamachi was installed recently—uninstalling it didn’t fix the problem. You’ve tried resetting Ethernet settings, reinstalling drivers, and even removing the static IP from the router. It looks like reinstalling Windows might be the best path forward without a full system wipe.
Broken LAN card can push speeds up to 100mbps. I think the drivers might be faulty.
This choice is what you've already attempted before, though it didn't resolve the issue. I've been using a Windows driver from 2015 when the problem started (searching for an update on Windows downloads brought up another 2015 version), and I've tried drivers from both the motherboard manufacturer and the LAN card maker, but the same limitation persists. Did your brother's computer experience the same issue?
The connection runs at 1Gbps on Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS. I’m sure my Ethernet card is functioning properly, yet I keep reinstalling Windows whenever this speed issue appears. It’s unclear whether the driver is the cause.
Windows can sometimes cause issues with drivers. You might consider removing the driver entirely to see if that resolves the problem, though it's unclear if this would work in your case. It could be worth a try.
I tried reinstalling Windows again, and everything worked out just fine. It was frustrating before, but now it’s back to normal after the troubleshooting. Appreciate your assistance!
