Everything is parked in the same switch. Even tried directly connected to the router and modem via wire and same results. Just ordered a PCIe NIC and will see if that will help.

So I've always played PC games hardwired as it is supposed to be the best, most reliable connection. I like to play call of duty and other FPS games, always have some form of lag, sometimes unplayable. So I've been doing some testing, all PC'S that can be connected to Ethernet I've gotten good idle ping (per Ookla) awful download ping and good upload ping. 22/313/11 - multiple runs averaged. The same PC's either USB tethered or using the built in wifi, 29/67/25. My network is a home built PFSense router, on a spectrum arris modem (model isn't known ATM didn't look) to a Netgear gig switch, wifi is Unifi AP LR Pro's x 2. The network adapter on the MB's are two Intel's and two Realtek's, so 4 separate PC's and two different cards. All firmware, drivers, OS's are up to date. All cables are CAT 5e and have been swapped out and still no changes. So if anyone has any insight on why wifi latency is better by a bunch on my download tests, I would be apprective. Thanks.

The top one was my example, it's from my machine

Doesn't look like there is an issue at the moment, so no need to manually assign anything unless you want to. Is it working as you'd expect now?

m By looking at this you should be able to connect, did you do a ping test or a tracert?

That too. Do you know how to manually assign an IP address to your PC?

Yes, your internal IP not your public IP, but if do it and get a different number than 192.168.x.x then it may be your pubic IP... Depends on how that ISP router/modem works...

So it can see the router, do you have an IP address assigned? Should look similar to below I run Windows 11 as well.

Does the default gateway have an address?

Looks like it's the onboard network adapter, do you know how to do an IPconfig in the command prompt/terminal window?

Where the cable plugs in to the PC, are the lights on? Should be a connection light and an activity light, if it is built in to the MB it'll be by the other I/O, if it's a network card it should be lower down, near the GPU slot.

Ok, so then it seems to be on the PC side, could be a failing network adapter. Is it built into the MB or do you have a network card installed?

I'd reflash it, again, doesn't look like the vBIOS is being found by GPU-Z.

I don't think this will work well, imagine getting thousands or tens of thousand of viewers peer connecting to your stream, it will inevitably crash it. Also the security concerns are well beyond what I'd be willing to risk, personally.

Is this the only device you have connected via Ethernet, or is there something else you've test/use and it's just fine? If you haven't had anything else connected to test, do you have a laptop or other PC you can plug in?
