Potential problem with Ethernet could involve connectivity issues or performance delays.
I've been facing difficulties maintaining the expected download and upload speeds on my computer. Previously, I experienced 800-900 Mbps, but recently it has dropped to 70-80 Mbps. My internet service provider remains unchanged, and even within the same household, other users are still receiving speeds above 800 Mbps. It seems the problem is specific to my PC. I've observed that rebooting after unplugging and plugging in the Ethernet cable can temporarily restore speeds up to 800-900 Mbps, though this effect is short-lived and usually returns to the lower range within a couple of hours. I'm unsure if this is due to the cable itself or another factor. Replacing the cable would be challenging because it passes through multiple rooms and levels in the house. A family member who handles tech confirmed they don't notice any issues with this cable, suggesting it might not be the root cause. Could be something else affecting performance? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Hello! It might be the problem comes from a program launching and affecting your connection quality. Consider turning off startup applications via Task Manager and using a tool like Malwarebytes to check for viruses that could be slowing bandwidth. Check your motherboard’s manual to confirm it supports Gigabit-Ethernet speeds; some boards show status lights for Ethernet ports. These tips should help—feel free to ask if you need more details.
