Can only get 100Mmbps with MSI B85-G43 Gaming

[ArchangelPT]

I had a different board in mind when i was making this build but issues arose with the one i got and i had to purchase this * that's been nothing but a headache.

I have 200 Mmbps internet and yet this crap only recognizes 100, i know it's the problem because i was easily getting the contracted speed with my previous motherboard

Can anyone help me solve this? I tried my ISP's customer support but they weren't able to help and the place i bought it won't accept returns. I'm using Windows 10.

Sometimes dealing with these issues feels like someone is conspiring against you. However most of us are computer enthusiasts and find these issues more of a challenge. That's why you have this resource where you can get your questions answered.

So have you tried getting a Cat 6 cable? I know you think that because your previous motherboard worked fine with the same cable this one should. However we are talking about a different NIC. Maybe that cable was borderline on the previous motherboard, but passed the 1Gbps negotiation, but with this NIC, it's more sensitive to cabling issues.

I called my ISP, they're the ones who provide cable. They'll send technicians to help troubleshoot the issue.

Hey guys, apparently the router was the issue. I had it replaced and everything is working perfectly.
