Ethernet is extremely slow

[fhcgasrvjt]

Hi,
I just plugged in my Ethernet, as my Ethernet cable arrived, just a standard yellow and black Ethernet cable.
Anyway, my wifi gets around 1.73 mb/s when i am using the WIFI, sometimes it goes right down to 200 or 400 kb/s. so i plugeed in an Ethernet cable, it connects, but steam says launch in offline, i use my wifi to launch online, and it downloads at around 150 BYTES per second, not 150 kb/s or mb/s.
Extremely slow.
any fixes?

Where is this ethernet jack plugging into?
Did you ever download the ethernet drivers for your computer?
Is this some super cheap cable you bought online from some unknown brand?

Tell us your internet provider also try and post your results

my ISP is BT Broadband Home hub, the results to that speedtest was : 11.44 MB/s on wireless, Upload speed (on wifi) was: 0.98 MB/s. My ethernet results was: (download) was 0.00 and the upload speed, it didn't get to that (the download didn't start)

I dont know how to downbload the drivers for the MOBO, my motherboard is an
Gigabyte F2A68HM-HD2
my ethernet cable is plugged into the motherboard and the cable came with the BT router box.

Try blowing the MOBO ports also install driver booster to update all the net drivers

i built my computer 3 days ago i dont see why it would be full of dust

also if you know where i can download the drivers from, please link them, i have a
Gigabyte F2A68HM-HD2
Windows 10 Pro

i can't find the drivers for LAN

i also get the error in troubleshooter about
Windows could not automatically detect this network's proxy settings

Driver booster isn't just a program.It updates and installs every single driver (even missing ones)
also you can trust iObit

(the motherboard might not have dust but the blow trick solves everything sometime)

i also get the error in troubleshooter about
Windows could not automatically detect this network's proxy settings

open CMD
execute these commands

netsh winsock reset
netsh int ipv4 reset

 

[fhcgasrvjt]

that didn't work,
i troubleshooted the connection and i got this error:

Windows could not automatically detect this network's proxy settings

guys, i found out my internet is 1.74 MB/s, or 14 mega bits per second mbps
so i was complainin about 1.7 mb/s for no reason, lol

turns out the ethernet cable i was using had a broken wire
i bought a new green ethernet cable for £5 and it works now.
thank you grandmaster, it was a cheap cable that BT supplied me with.
