Connecting my computer wirelessly gives a speed of 10,000 KBPS during upload, whereas using a LAN cable reduces it to 1,000 KBPS.
Occasionally I encounter computers that aren't properly adjusting their speed to the router. You can manually change the desired speed to gigabit by going to Device Manager, selecting Network adapters, choosing the right adapter, then adjusting Speed & Duplex. Also, are there any devices that bypass your PC and connect directly to the router, such as a desk phone or other workplace network equipment?
His machine lacks a gigabit LAN adapter. I understand. I recently purchased a fairly new laptop with built-in AC wireless, but the LAN remains at 100 Mbps. That's unusual. Another point to verify is the router configuration—ensure no settings favor wireless over wired connections. Also, inspect your cable; it should be undamaged and at least CAT 5e. Network speed should not be affected by the router or switch in this regard. Consider another situation: are you using the built-in WiFi from the modem or a separate router connected to it? Direct modem connections often provide better performance since they avoid Double NAT. Generally, speed issues are rare unless the router itself is problematic. If your device isn't adjusting to the correct speed automatically, the cable might be the culprit. Negotiation issues outside of physical cables usually occur in virtual setups without any connections. Good luck!
The numbers come from a process where connections are limited by the maximum bitrate allowed.
