The Ethernet connection operates at 10 MBPS instead of the expected 100 MBPS
The Ethernet connection operates at 10 MBPS instead of the expected 100 MBPS
I'd like to begin by noting this. Your router supports a 100 MPBS connection, yet when you connect your Ethernet cable and attempt to download from Steam, the speed drops to 1 MBPS. I've tested the same cable on another device, which achieves a 100 MBPS connection. I've updated the drivers and adjusted the duplex settings to full speed at 100 MBPS, but the Ethernet remains at 10 MBPS. Others have shared their experiences with this problem, but none of their solutions have been effective so far. What do you think might be causing this issue?
Gentle adjustment, it seems you're mixing up MBps and Mbps. MB is Mega byte, eight times more than Mb, which is a Mega bit. From what I understand of your explanation, you're getting roughly 1 Megabyte per second since your link speed is only 10 Megabit. If both devices are set to 100 Mbps but you're seeing just 10, it might be a faulty cable. Would you like to try another one?
All your statements are accurate. I've tested various cables, and the issue remains consistent. I've also checked the current cable on another machine, which showed a 100 Megabit connection.
What router make/model do you have? It should be connecting at least 1Gb, unless your router is ancient and only has 100Mb ports... But even then struggling to see why it's only connected at 10Mb unless it's a damaged cable, or you've had some NIC settings changed. Is your PC connected directly to the router via ethernet cable? Are you using any strange ethernet extenders, or powerline plugs etc? I'd also recommend a Windows network reset, it should clear any strangely configured settings you might have on the NIC...

We have modern repeaters installed, and all the cables are current. I think the problem might be related to software rather than hardware. When I connect the same cable to another PC, it functions properly. I'm attempting to reset the network settings now to test.
The router is linked to the basement, which supplies Ethernet to every room as far as I understand. I also attempted a network reset, but that didn’t resolve the issue. The duplex was set to auto negotiation, yet speeds remained at 10 MB. I also tried switching it to 100 MB, but no improvement occurred.
