Since the upgrade, my internet speed has decreased significantly.
Hey everyone, I'm facing a tricky issue that needed some teamwork to fix. I switched from the I5-10500 to the I7-11700, which is great, but now my internet speed dropped significantly after the CPU upgrade and one MOBO update. Now I’m getting only 950-970 Mbps, which isn’t ideal. My plan was 1 Gbps, but Steam/Epic are capping it at around 11-12 MB/s. After disconnecting and reconnecting, speeds sometimes reach 40 MB/s, but Coop plays are really frustrating—after about 20 minutes of streaming, everyone gets kicked out. My PC specs are pretty solid: I7-11700 RTX3060 Ti, ASUS Prime Z590-Z, M2 chipset, 1 TB SSD, and a 2.5 TB Samsung 980 Pro in PCIe 4 slot. I’m hoping someone can help me get back to normal speeds.
No, I haven't visited the motherboard's website or downloaded any LAN drivers myself.
I performed a fresh setup of the w11 during a MMO switch. After a few complaints, I switched the router with the internet service. The provider recommended a new cable, which I followed. The Wi-Fi is extremely unreliable, just like on the cable connection. I saw some suggestions for drivers on forums about using NVMe, so I considered it. System identification shows my connection speed as 1000/1000Mbps.
Are there any additional devices connected to the network, such as another PC or NAS, that you could use for a transfer? This helps confirm if the router is involved. If you link a laptop to your motherboard's RJ45 port, you can directly move a large file to test functionality.
