Hey guys, I've been having this problem on two computers now. They are stuck at 1000mbit and won't connect to a faster 1Gbit line. It's weird because every time I reset my PC, it gets the fast speed for a few hours or days before coming back down to 1000mbit. My setup is kind of messy but it works on another computer downstairs. We ran a LAN cable from my router through a hub and then into an outlet in my room, where that goes into my PC. I have a brand new motherboard for this one; it supports gigabit speeds just like the router and my old PC's motherboard. The switch lights up normally when a cable is plugged in, but not with mine. Even though I connected every other cable before, there was still only one light on. I tried the duplex and auto-negotiation settings, but that didn't help either. I bought a new CAT6 cable for my PC and it's still broken if you ask me why! If anyone has any tips or tricks to fix this, I would really appreciate it since I just don't know what to do anymore and don't want to wait forever until I get a new game xD. My specs are: Windows 11 with an Asus ROG Strix B550F Gaming (WiFi) mobo.
