Ethernet speed locked at 10 mbps

[Davin Nguyen]

I have been trying to change it so that my download speed isn't locked at 10 mbps. I've tried everything that i could possibly do, i got a new ethernet cable, messed around with settings, and i also tried resetting my router and pc. None of these worked, I don't know what to do.

By resetting your PC do you mean restarting or reinstalling...

restarting

have you tried some sort of different test? maybe that thing could be bugged.

I've tried multiple tests, and i also downloaded a game that was 9 gb and it took around 7 hours.

What happens if you connect another computer to the same Ethernet cable? Do you see Gigabit/100Mbit or is it still 10Mbit?

I don't actually have another computer, this is my only one.

You could try another NIC. Be it PCI_e or USB.

 

You can also try booting another OS. If the link speed returns to normal we'll know it's a software issue.

What router are you using? 

What ethernet card / PC / motherboard is this? 

You're using a standard CAT5 or higher ethernet cable? 

Have you checked in Device Manager > Network Adapter > Properties and looked at the 'Duplex mode' and tried setting it to a higher value? 

 

I assume you've tried multiple LAN ports on your router to check its not that port on the router thats fault?

Theres nothing more you can do without either trying a different PC (maybe someone has a laptop you can borrow?), or getting another network adapter.

First, what kind of CAT cable are you using? Second, What model router do you have? Third, do you know the what type of NIC you are using?
