You're experiencing issues with your network setup using a TL-PA4010 and mixed cable types. The router uses Cat5e 568A, while your PC connects via Cat6 568.2, and you're trying to use a Realtek GBE controller. Although the speed option shows 1.0Gbps full duplex, you're not achieving the expected 500Mbps. It might be due to compatibility or configuration differences between the devices. If you're using different wiring schemes, it's best to ensure proper matching and check for any driver or firmware updates for your NIC.

I’m checking exact speeds by running tests under controlled conditions.

I'm seeing about 30MBPS now. The game I'm downloading is running at 3.1-3.5MBPS, and the Task Manager shows it's around 30-35MBPS.

It seems the maximum is at the epic store. Check speedtest.net for a read. The best way to check your own connection is by moving files between devices, since internet speed can be affected by external factors.

Speedtest also shows 30 Mbps, I don’t understand why. Previously, my laptop handled about 60 Mbps, but the network couldn’t reach 1.0 GB per second. This one is giving me only 30, and I’m confused about the difference.

Ignore the problem—my concern is about the Ethernet adapters I'm using.
