1Gbps internet issues.

[XArchaicRogueX]

Hello,

 

So today I updated my internet plan to 1Gbps. the thing is i am speed testing and only pulling 250Mbps. looking at my Ethernet connection it is registering 1.0Gbps on my Ethernet status. i have all necessary hardware for it.

 

CAT6 Cables

DOCSIS 3.1 Modem from my ISP

ASUS ROG Rapture AC5300 Gigabit Router.

 

My Motherboard is a GIGABYTE AUROUS Gaming 5 that has both Intel and Killer E2500 with 10/100/1000 compatibility. when i try and change my device speed on both they only go up to 100Mbps and nothing higher. I don't really know what else to do to stop this from bottleneck from my Internet.

 

any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Try changing where you do your speedtest too.

i only know of speedtest.net. do you recommend another site i may look into?

i think he means change the server location on speedtest.net choose the one thats closer to you usually the recommended one if further than the closest one.

i tried that just now, no changes.

At this speed, tests aren't really reliable. Try real world use-cases, like steam. Or try to use multiple-download-sources at once and look at your network-usage in windows.

 

If this doesn't help, pm me, I might can get you a Benchmark-Sever with more than enough uplink

try http://www.dslreports.com/speedtest - unlike other speedtests which are single-stream, dslreports uses up to 32 streams at the same time, to reduce the chance that a slow server or inter-carrier link is causing an issue for you. If this still shows a low speed (under 900Mb/s) then there may be an issue that needs further inspection. I would try to log into the modem (usually 192.168.100.1 while on the network that connects to the modem) and see how many connections it has made, signal strength, etc.
