Slow internet connection issue
90mb/s in a speed test equals 720mbit assuming 800mbit connection; otherwise, you might only need better Ethernet drivers.
You might face restrictions due to a second link in the chain. Most older routers or modems can handle up to 100 MBPs, but if your device has a feature to boost speeds, that could change things.
Sure, the distinction lies in what these terms mean. Mbps stands for megabits per second, referring to the actual data transfer rate in bits. Mbps is often used by ISPs because it gives a clearer picture of speed. Typically, you're billed for 800Mbps, which equals about 100 MB/s. This means the service is delivering 100 megabytes per second.
The network card supports gigabit rates (1000 mbps, 125 MB/s). Any Ethernet cable—Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6a—can handle up to 2.5 Gbps (2500 Mbps) or higher, provided the connections are set up properly at each end. To achieve 1000 Mbps, every part in the setup needs to be able to deliver that speed; both the Ethernet card and the cable must meet the requirement. The connector on the switch, modem, or device you received from the ISP should also support 1000 Mbps.
You're likely on Windows and have multiple options to verify your Ethernet speed. A useful guide explains how to check this step by step: https://www.makeuseof.com/windows-check-...ter-speed/. If your connection isn't reaching 1000mbps or 1gbps, it could mean the cable is faulty or your router/modem/switch doesn't support gigabit speeds. If the speed shows gigabit, your ISP might be limiting you. Typically, 800mbps should translate to roughly 90MB/s, considering protocol overhead.
Did you test another cable on the affected PC in the router port that seems fine with the other one? Slightly weaker connections might affect certain network cards, though others remain stable, often leading to a drop to 100Mbit.
