I moved to a new place and it's wired with cat5 throughout, but I'm having an issue where my PC won't recognize the Ethernet connection coming from the wall-jack. The internet works fine if I plug it directly into the router at the wiring hub, though. The odd thing is that when I plug a PlayStation into the wall-jack the internet works fine. Furthermore, if I go into the network adapter properties on the PC, and change it to 10Mbps full or half duplex the PC will recognize the connection then. This is far from ideal though, since I have gigabit internet. Does anyone have an idea about how to remedy this issue?

I just bought an asus maximus xii formula second-hand and tried to set it up, but I cannot for the life of me get it to connect to the internet or even show any sign of connectivity. It has a Marvell 10gbit and an Intel 2.5gbit ethernet port, none of which will recognize a working ethernet connection when plugged in, as well as an in-built wifi adapter that doesn't show up in windows even if the antenna is installed. I also checked that all of them are enabled in the BIOS In the case of the Intel, when I plug in the cable the lights will light up (green flashing, orange constantly lit) but nothing will show in windows. In the case of the Marvell, nothing happens at all when I plug the cable in, almost as if it were completely broken (I hope to god not). The wifi doesn't show as an option to connect either. All 3 of these will show up in device manager under network adapters, but each of them with that annoying yellow warning triangle. Installing drivers from device manager doesn't work because I don't have internet access, so I have to use my laptop and a usb drive to install them. I have tried un- and re-installing with every (reputable) driver I could find, both on the official asus support site https://rog.asus.com/motherboards/rog-maximus/rog-maximus-xii-formula-model/helpdesk_download as well as from directly from Intel or Marvell and rebooted after every driver install attempt, but nothing has changed. I have even tried completely resetting my networks in windows' settings, but to no avail. Am I just dumb and not finding the correct drivers or is there something broken? Is it because I am using a boot SSD from another system with some sort of driver conflict? I have genuinely no idea at this point and I would greatly appreciate if someone could help me save this board from becoming a very expensive paperweight. I am running windows 10 version 10.0.19041 The BIOS is version 2.20.1276 Thank you for your help

Every time I try and post an emoji, literally my entire internet connection grinds to a halt. It pretty much doesn't matter what website it is, but its mainly Linus and YouTube doing it. What gives here? Does this happen to anyone else? Does this have to do with flash? HTML? Is something out of date? Its not a big problem of course, I'm just curious. Maybe I can prevent bigger issues from occurring down the road.

My PC looses connection to the 5GHz band of my wifi. When it happens, I usually alt-tab off whatever I'm doing then I disconnect-reconnect on my Wifi and it comes back. Sometimes though it'll just not show the 5GHz but only the 2.4GHz. My 2.4GHz is way too laggy (probably bc of some other devices but don't quote me on that). I can't pass an ethernet cable to my PC. I've tried unplugging my router, waiting and then reconnecting but it doesn't solve the issue. I also made sure the adapter wouldnt be turned off to save power and my drivers are up to date. My PC runs Windows 10 64 bit Motherboard: Gigabyte B360 Aorus Gaming 3 Wifi Wifi Adapter : Intel Wireless-AC 9560 160MHz Pretty sure it's not needed but just in case: CPU: i5-8400 GPU: GTX 1080 RAM : 16GB

Well I have a 50mb/s (vdsl) connection but I only get 3mb/s real-time download speed.. I don't know much about internet connection and stuff like that so please help me is there a way to get more real-time mb/s???

My pc is connected to my wifi, but it wont load alot of things such as discord, steam storepage or internet websites. When i google stuff, it shows the search results, but wont open any pages. Need help!

I recently moved out to a new place and ever since I moved this weird problem been happening. When I play DOTA 2, once every two or games or so I get connection problem and disconnection in 20 seconds. It goes away after like 7 seconds but then the game freezes, nothing out of it position. The heroes still have their moving animation and I can still hear sounds of things happening. Sometimes I reset my PC it fixes but most of the time it doesn't. I have selected "I have low end network" in the menu and checked display network information. It says I have 120 fps, <100 ping, loss out 0. 'Loss in' is frozen at which ever the frame that all heroes stop at, which varies from 9 to 900. There is one time though that the connection problem actually ticked all the way down to 0 and disconnected me from the game and this is what it said. (picture 1) So I play DOTA 2 along side with other games like PUGB, ARK, Paladins. But this problem only occur when I play DOTA 2. YouTube videos still loads, skype and discord calls still function perfectly fine. I tried to 'Verify integrity of game files', reinstalling and reinstalling to a newer hard drive. My friends are telling me to change my internet provider but I don't know if that is possible because the place I am renting now has internet pre installed and comes with the bundle of monthly rent fee. Is there anything I can do at this point?

My internet connection is based around the older N technology in which I only get internet speeds up to 72mpbs over a wireless connection. When I installed the modem, I had recently looked at my wifi connection details and the protocol was using the older N technology instead of an AC connection. I dont understand why my connection is not the correct protocol in which it originally promises. Also, every now and again, my internet connection suddenly cuts out without any warning and normally I when I reset the connection, it either says it cant connect to this network or says No internet, secured. 1. Why is my protocol displaying the older N technology instead of an AC connection. 2. Why am I getting internet connection speeds up to 72mpbs over a wireless connection 3. Why is my internet cutting out without any signs of warning? 4. When I try to reset the connection it either says cant connect to this network or No internet, secured, why do these messages occur

Hello Everybody. I Recently upgraded my network card, and got at new router installed professionally. (it was 10 years old) But in the past few days I have been experiencing a very unstable network connection on my desktop. Up until last week I had no problems and I got my 100/100 connection through wifi. However, last week something happened, and all of a sudden my internet is very unstable and it keeps dropping in speed, sometimes it even disconnects me. This problem only occurs to me and on my main PC. I have checked for the recent drivers, I even wiped my drive and reinstalled windows, and i simply just cannot figure out what is causing this problem. If anyone has experienced something like this, or just know a fix. Please let me know. Best regards Magnus Dahl from Denmark.

I just started having this issue today, whenever I try to login into Minecraft the launcher says it is not connected. Everything else works fine, wired and wireless. I have even given it a bypass through my firewall, rebooted, and reinstalled.

hello my download speed used to be 30 mb/s on steam and utorrent and qbittorent and now its allways stuck at 11mb/s. can someone help me?

So, I paid for 50 Mbps and then, when I went home to test how many Mbps I got, speedtest.net was saying that I have 30.78 Mbps download and 4.43 Mbps for upload. I tried: Rebooting the router. Unplugging router and plugging back in. Disconnecting everything from my router (devices, except my pc because how will I test it). Unplugging EVERY cable and plugging back in. Waited 5 days maybe something would happen. And still nothing. What should I do?

I play video games quite often on pc and console. One thing that annoys me is that whenever I play fortnite on my pc I tend to rubber band a ton and I have my pc hooked up with an ethernet cable. But, when I load up destiny 2 or any other games on my pc it is smooth as butter no lag. I have 100 down and about 10-15 up as seen here https://gyazo.com/cf48c44515ab6508dfea2eb96971fb94 And when I play other games on my Xbox (on wifi) it works fine hardly any rubber banding or lag. Idk if it is my Pc or just Fortnite. If anyone knows how to fix it or any ideas to fix it that would be very helpful thanks.

Hey guys, i want to know if the low ping is caused by bad router or isp, and is it because many people are connected to the same router?

I currently have Comcast cable and am in the process of moving to a new apartment which has a different cable internet service. Problem is the new apartment requires my modem's MAC address tomorrow when I "officially" move-in, even though I won't be moving my computer or any of my furniture for another two weeks. Just getting to this point has been a bit of a mess. Anyway, that's the reason for my question, because I'll be teleworking from my current apartment the next two weekends and need to have the internet working at my current place with Comcast. But want to find out if having the modem's MAC address registered at my new apartment as well, starting tomorrow (even though the modem will be physically at my current apartment), will that mess up my current internet connection with Comcast?

So some time back I thought i had smashed my on MB-Soundcard (Bottle fell onto PC, and sound wouldn't work under 2 OS's - soundcard wasn't even shown under devices). So i went and bought an dedicated sound card. I inserted it, booted the PC up, and there were two surprises: first: The on-MB-Soundcard worked again for whatever reason (perhaps it was the complete shutdown + turning off the PSU), but whatever. So I ended up sending the dedicated Soundcard back, and the internal sound card didn't make any problems any more. But: Now my Internet connection is terribly slow. It's not that the download speed is bad - after getting a connection it has its usual speed, but chrome shows, that after the request it is "waiting"/"idling" for over 10 seconds, waiting for the website to respond. This is happening in Chrome, Opera, Edge as well as some games that don't have a connection all the time (Gwent has massive problems). It also is exclusive to this device, but not internet connection. And under Linux (installed on the same PC - different hard drive) all is working just fine. My guess would have been that there is some dns problem, but both flushing the cache and using the google dns as dns-server didn't work. So I'm coming here for help - sorry if it doesn't fit in the category. TL;DR: After i changed some Hardware, Internet takes way too long to connect to websites.

I've been suffering from extreme rubber-banding in fortnite battle royale, my ping is fine it can go down to 35 ms but I still am rubber-banding which makes it unplayable. By rubber-banding I mean teleporting everywhere one second I'd be in one place the other I'd teleport to somewhere else which causes my death when it teleports me in-front of an enemy. When switching between weapons it takes too much time and teleports me everywhere. It freezes to where I can't move for like 5 seconds. I checked on their website and did everything they recommended like, allowing a file called "UE4" in the anti-virus which worked really well for a while but then stopped working, I set my dns to google's dns, I updated me gpu drivers and my fps is fine hovering around 50-60 with 40 fps drops when in open spaces, it's not my internet connection since it can work really well for a few minutes my ping would be 35 ms and it isn't lagging at all 2 minutes later, I'm teleporting everywhere. This might be an ip problem but I changed I set my ip manually because I had the wifi limited connection issue with windows 10 laptops where it literally makes it unplayable the ip address fixes this but whenever I do it, there's a 50% chance it might be the cause but I don't know for sure. I don't have anything open but the game, don't have anything running in the background I even close everything using the task manager, I don't use a VPN neither is anyone downloading anything on other devices. I am using wireless because the ethernet cable isn't long enough and I'm not sure if it'll work or not (let me know) but the reason I don't think it's a wireless connection issues because it ran perfectly for a few weeks (yes ping wasn't very good) but it was running well and playable. I'm playing on the closes server to me EU according to the game I'm getting 78 ms, also there's nothing wrong with the servers since this seems to be a recurring issue that happens only to me. I've updated my wireless adapter, I allowed the game in the anti-virus but it's still lagging can someone help?

About a month ago a purchased an Ethernet powerline adapter on Amazon because my house is not wired for Ethernet and I was also receiving extremely poor results with WiFi from my ASUS Maximus X Hero. The exact model is here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01EO5A4TI/ref=oh_aui... . This has worked out very well for the past month and gave me a consistent 30 Mbps up and 30 Mbps down, although I do pay for 60 up and 60 down, but it was enough for my needs and I was happy. It was also a very consistent connection with very little jitter and low ping, which is what I'm most concerned about because I am into the Esport title League of Legends. With it I received a very consistent 11ms ping in game. All went well until I played my first LoL game today and noticed I was getting awful lag spikes and a couple disconnections from the game. I was receiving anywhere from my usual 11ms ping to upwards of 2000ms. Because of this I began to investigate what was going wrong with my internet connection. I noticed that the LED indicator on the powerline adapter that indicates the connection to the second one where my modem is had recently turned from green to red. Green indicated a strong connection, where as red indicated a poor connectionAfter reading a few articles on powerline adapter issues I began to test whether or not certain electrical things were interfering with my powerline adapter. I came to the conclusion that the problem is stemming from the room my PC is in, not something somewhere else in the house. I know this because any outlet in my room is giving the same connection issue, and when I got an extension cord and tested other outlets in different rooms of my house they all worked perfectly like before my issue arose. I should also note that this room is on its own circuit breaker like every other room in the house, the room is also located on the second floor where as the modem is on the first floor, and also the fact that my house is only 3 years old, so I don't think its due to old/faulty wiring.After further testing I found out that there was a certain electronic in my room that was causing "the bulk" of the issue. This was an LED light strip that is hooked up to my desk. The exact model is here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075H1TVFH/ref=oh_aui... . If I turn off the light strip my up/down speeds improved, and if I completely unplugged the strip my up/down speeds would improve even more to about 30 up and 20 down, but no matter what my ping and jitter never improved when I unplugged the light strip and also the LED indicator never changed from orange to green. The light strip is also on a different outlet than my powerline adapter, but my PC is on the same outlet as the powerline adapter although I already concluded that's not the issue. The powerline adapter is also hooked directly into the wall, not on a power strip. The reason I am so confused as to why this is happening is because it happened so suddenly. The adapter worked perfectly for the first day I day I installed the light strip, but the next day this all started to happen. Nothing else was changed other than adding the RGB strip too. The first day the RGB strip was on all day and the adapter worked fine, its just the next day it all went to shit.I have absolutely no idea what is going on and am not an electrical/internet expert at all so I am asking for anyone that can help me with this issue. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated sorry ahead of time for such a strange issue. TLDR: So basically I had this Powerline adapter that worked fine for the first day after I installed a light strip, but the next day after installing this strip my internet speeds slowed down significantly and I really don't know why. Unpluggin the light strip helps the situation a little, but the speeds still aren't the same as if I used a socket in another room.

So today I started to play videogames. And I noticed there is some trouble with my connection. So I called a guy who works for the internet company. So he came and we were testing some things. So when we were testing with router (Wi-Fi) we get a speed of 6.55mb/s all the way to 4.50mb/s which is quite bad, I should get 10mb/s or atleast 9.5mb/s. So we connect the direct cable, no router just a cable in my PC, and it worked well it went all the way to 9.70mb/s which should be like that. But when we use our router and test it out with cable and Wi-Fi we get a 5.6mb/s or 6.80mb/s. So we tried to change the channels in router settings, there are from 1 to 11 channels, and we picked the 10th channel and it went all the way 8mb/s any lower channels will drop drastically. This is a test with router Tenda: And this is with direct cable, no router (this is how it should be): Please anyone know the reason why I get a speed of 5,6mb/s with router but I get 9mb/s with direct cable. Any solution? PS: The guy from internet company, he tried to watch a TV on tablet, it kinda laggs out, like the frames are skipping really quick and audio problem. If this helps.

Hi guys, I want to know is the internet speed from the Internet Exchange is controlled by the port speed or the bandwidth management? If I have a 10Gb speed from them, and distributes it to 25 servers (every server holds 400 users) and each user must have 1Gb connection. My company has a very big project and I'm askimg is this possible. Bassically, it means like I seperate a 10Gb connection to 10,000 users and every users will be enjoying 1Gb speed. Somehow, I think this is bottleneck. Update: Ok, then I will distribute it to only 8 servers.

Hey everybody . So i have a broadband connection of up to 25Mbps . Actual speed is 16mbps as i was told by my internet provider and the Ookla Speedtest i run says that is it 13 Mbps ( http://www.speedtest.net/result/4837881527.png) . The problem i have is that in a lot of hd videos or on twitch when i put it in full hd mode , a lot of the times the video is unwatchable because of all the buffering. Another example i can give is that in LoL i have a 80-90 ms while my friend who lives in the same city but in a different area has around 50 ms . I dont know if these things should be happening but i believe that even 13 Mbps should be enough in order for me to be able to watch hd streams or youtube videos in 1080p without this annoying buffering every other second . Also i have to point out that this doesnt happen every single time , there are days that i have almost no problem with any video but these days are rare. Another problem i had with my internet was that sometimes out of nowhere i would stop having internet connection and the yellow triangle would appear over the internet connection icon in the bottom right of the pc . It used to happen a lot but now all of a sudden it has stopped without me doing absolutely anything to fix it. I really want to eliminate all of the possible things that my computer could be having wrong before possibly going to an other internet provider since i cant stand paying for the best speed available and having this bad experience. Thanks in advance for any help !

So like a lot of people I upgraded to Windows 10 to see what is like and what all the hype is about. The install proses went fine and all was well until I tried to use the internet. The PC shows that the connection is fine but the moment I start to use it (downloading, browsing ect.) the connection would drop and then reconnect after about 10 seconds. So first thing I did was go look at the drivers and it seemed to have downloaded some drivers by itself. I then downloaded newer drivers on my laptop and installed them just to find that no progress had been made. Any ideas on how to fix the issue. My motherboard is an older Intel DZ68DB and the network adapter is an Intel 82579v. Any and all help would be appreciated!

Okay so basically whenever I play game through Steam, for example Counter-Strike: Global Offensive my internet disconnects after about 10-30 minutes. Then it's dead for about 1 minute and it comes back and it repeats itself. This is extremely frustrating and it literally kills the internet for everyone in the house. I've tried port forwarding all Steam ports on my router but nothing seems to be working. Tried resetting/restarting router numerous of times. Funny thing is this started happening out of the clear blue sky. I can play other games such as World of Warcraft and Hearthstone without getting disconnecting. Anyone has experience of a similar problem? I'm using a wireless connection with 20mb/s down and 1mb/s up, it's pretty slow but it has worked perfect until now since I've had this problem for a month or two. I've got a NETGEAR DGN2000 router aswell.

can some one please help me with an internet connection "puzzle" i got a motherboard with a 10/100 lan connection, a gigabit pci board, a wireless N router and a gigabit internet connection right now its connected like: gigabit internet -> router -> my pc with cable connection and wireless connection to the rest of devices in my home (but my router bottlenecks my internet speed) so i wanna go like: gigabit internet -> my pc in my gigabit pci board -> my motherboard lan -> router -> rest of my wireless devices i dont know how to make my pc recive internet connection on a board and output the connection from the other board can some one please help me how to do that

This is my first post on here and i'm hoping to get some really good options to try and fix my problem! So the company I work for has about 19 locations in the valley and each one has the same problem, the internet connection drops at random times and the only clear cut way to fix this is restart the router. I thought this was due to old equipment in the stores! however after i have updated the routers and modems the problem still continues! The way it is set up is pretty simple its a modem>router>switch>computers. And we have century-link, but we put cox in one store to see if it was just a problem with the provider and the problem continues with the store running off of cox as well! I thought it could be a computer problem but all the computers are the same and the ones at the main office do not drop connection! If any of you guys could help me out and give me either a few solutions or recommendation id love to know! thank you and i hope you guys are able to help!!
