Speed troubleshooting

[Zeorth]

So I recently got 1000 Mbps internet speed. However, when I run a speed test it says that its just at 100 Mbps. I'm connected straight to the router with a Cat 6 Stranded UTP cable so I don't see why it won't go above 100 Mbps when I have 1000 Mbps.

Are you sure you got Megabyte and Megabit right?

[GekkePietert]

Are the ethernet ports on your pc and router able to handle such speeds?

Some ports are 100Mbs max

As @FloRolf said, a megabit (Mbps) is 8 times less than a Megabyte (MBps). This might throw your speeds off. If you have 1000 Mbps, then you have at max 125MBps.

I mean Megabit. For all of them

How would I know?

So I have 1 Gbit

Network and Sharing Center > Change Adapter Settings > Right click on the ethernet adapter > Properties

It should say 1.0Gbps, if not then that's the problem.

 

What model router?

is it really 100 Flat?

Because in that case it could actually be a 100mbit port holding you back. Some Routers have a power savinbg feature that limits some ports to 100mbit. What motherboard are you using?

It says 100 Mbit/s

If that's the case, then you're going to want to pick up a gigabit ethernet card from somewhere.

i'd start with reinstalling the NIC Drivers because his motherboard is actually 1gbit capable.

Hastighet means speed so I assume that's the case. What would I do with the ethernet card?

And how do I do that?

have you never installed drivers? go to Asus' website and download them, then install them.

Nope never. Always ran on stock.

[Lurick]

What model router do you have? It would be pointless to start with the motherboard as the issue if we don't know what it's connected to.

that explains a lot.

Indeed, but a PC without any drivers is kinda useless to beginn with.

Its an Apple AirPort Extreme connected to a internet box on the wall.

I look up the drivers but they dont seem to have any.

This it? Now what? Sorry for being a noob. Haven't done this before.

If I change the speed and duplex to 1.0 Gbps Full Duplex from Auto Negotiation it just says your ethernet cable is disconnected and I don't get any internet at all?
