  • Gigabit running at 100 Mb/sec?

    From David@21:1/5 to All on Thu Apr 18 16:20:53 2024
    Just checking my local network prior to configuring my new laptop.
    This PC is showing a Gigabit network adapter running at 100 Mb/sec.
    The network is Gigiabit, through the switch to the router.

    Any first things to check?

    Cheers

    Does your cable have all four pairs of wires?

    Whole house is wired Cat5E (IIRC) and has a Gigabit switch under the
    stairs.
    First time I've noticed this.
    Always seen 1 Gigabit on PCs with that capability.

    I feel some cable checking coming on, but this is all very strange.

    Cheers

    Further note.

    I've just connected my Dell USB C hub to the new Dell laptop and connected
    that into a wall socket.
    That is showing 1Gb/sec.

    So the underlying network is fine.

    Wonder if I've been drive by drivered by W10.
    This is ringing faint bells.

    Cheers

    If Windows is showing it as a 1Gbe NIC, it ought to be able to run it at
    1Gbe speed ...

    I'm chasing down a known Intel problem with drivers and auto negotiation
    which can result in 100 Mb speeds on a Gigabit Intel chip.

    We shall see.

    Not quite what the article led me to believe.
    However.
    Advanced settings set to AutoNegotiate for speed and half/full duplex.
    Set to 1 Gig full duplex and it seems to be working fine now.

    All very strange.

    Cheers
