low network transfer speeds

[george the lemon]

so i have linked my laptop and pc to my netgear wireless router using Ethernet and my PC my PC has a gigabit Ethernet and the laptop can only do 100mb/s

 

whenever i try to transfer a file from the pc to the laptop it only hits 10mb/s max is there any way to speed this up would i require a switch i have also adjusted the duplex so is there any way to make this speed faster 

 

i also read up somewhere there is 20% cap on my network

 

any hep would be great

~80mb/'s = ~10MB's  your speed is fine. you just don't know your units

you prob won't hit 100mbs on wifi so 80 seems about right.

1 byte is 8 bits.

Big difference.

Not really my specialty, but don't you need gigabit cables for gigabit Internet?

Best setup would be CAT6e cables < 50m and a dedicated 1gbps card or good onboard, and a 1G switch

good luck finding a cable that isn't rated at gigabit

As I said not really my specialty and my post by was more to the cable side, I'm pretty sure he was running the laptop on wireless.

No need to get cocky.

i wasn't if it sounded that way.
