Not getting gigabit

[thegingertator]

Hello!

 

So i recently noticed that when using cat5e on my laptop with a Qualcomm Atheros AR8151 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller I am only getting 100Mbps. I'm almost positive my router is Gigabit. Its an MI424-WR Rev. F. Could someone help clear this up? I tried to find drivers for my NIC but I couldn't find a DL page.

 

Thanks Guys,

Kellen

Are you sure your cable is real cat5e. As I already had fake ones and same problem

gigabit to the world?

or to another computer in your house?

 

How much do you pay for down if you thinking outside?

Your Cat5 chip or chipset may not support Gigabit speeds.

To my WIFI router which I am thinking about using as a switch. I'll try a different cable and see what happens.

According to the datasheet for the chipset it's only 10/100
