I think I've done all I can do. I did reinstall newest driver for network card, twice, I'm not reinstalling OS or installing dual partition/OS's, just not worth it imo and new pc will allow 2.5g bandwidth anyway. I really think its the hardware; mobo, or cpu...or whatever. It just wont allow...
Thanks for this post, Kell. Was concerned about this.
I plan to build a new PC, anyway, and all new MOBOs come with 2.5g+ ethernet ports in mobo so that, naturally, would solve problem.
I tried yet another(the third and final) Pci-Express X1 port, and same yield; 600-7--mbps. Its in the port nice and snug, too.
I dont think iits router, since router feeds out 900mb/sec over 5g wifi easily, but i could be wrong, and the issue could be with wired LAN only. Just not sure how id...
I only have air compressor to blow air into pci ports, if thats acceptable.
And yea, definitely a bottleneck. Since last night, its actually dropped back to 600-700mbps. Go figure.
I've mostly used DD-WRT, too, but OPEN-WRT was recommended for this router. Not sure I even want to mess around...
So, I made a little progress. I moved network card to different pcix1 port, which barely fit since its right beneath gfx card. It seemed to fit more snugly/properly in this x1 socket for some reason. Once I got it in. I restarted pc/router/modem, then did speed test, and its about double what...
Well, laptop moves back and forth at around 100MB/sec.
[[ minldess1: "Can you connect the system straight to the modem (ONT?) with ethernet cable, removing the router from the equation? Might need to reboot both. I'd only do this long enough to run a test, not leaving the system sitting...
Will take all of your words @In2Photos and get back to you. Going to go try the other laptop now w/1gig port - at least see if my lan bandwidth is up to speed.
I dont have any network device over 1gigabit to try wired xfer on, but do remember getting 85 megabytes(MB)/sec or so once when testing speeds from this pc to a laptop.
[[Edit: I have a laptop in car that has ethernet port on it and is a few years newer than this pc. Ill try in morning. My much...
Built in mobo port was like 250ish, and upon network card install, this increased it to 600-700 mbps but thats it....should be ~2000+.
Yes have tried 3 different cables for each port pairing. There was only 20 mbit or so difference from old Cat5E cable to brand new Cat6 patch cable.No wall...
Hello,
I have new 2,100 mbp/s internet, confirmed by tech. I have an older win 7 machine, so I upgraded network card to a 2.5g ethernet card (pci xpress x1) and bought new router (Flint2 w/OpenWRT) which has 2x 2.5g ports.
Ive worked for days now on this, and even though wifi works fine...
