so i have a 300 mbps connection and despite having speed and duplex set at 1Gbps full duplex and a cat6 ethernet cable, connection is still limited to 10mbps.

thanks for the help

Do other computers on the same network have the same issue, or only this one?

Have you tried different cables? Also try different ports on the switch/router/ap/hub. It could also be a configuration issue.

It could also be dust or something in the jack that is not allowing everything to be connected.

What the make and model of the motherboard? or the nic card.

If one of the RJ45 socket pins are misaligned, damaged you will be limited to 100Mbit / 10MByte per second.

Try a new cable, if not try a different socket on whatever you are connecting to, if not then the port on your PC would be my suspicion, can you try an add-in card?

If there's any connection at all, then it shouldn't be a physical problem.

If you've got a WiFi card, can you disable it? It's possible Windows is trying to use WiFi for some stupid reason.

i don't have an add-in card, i guess that if the socket is damaged there is no solution.

It's not a hardware issue. Ethernet pretty much works or it doesn't, with a little packet loss in between.

This is Windows.

i think that i may have something set wrong

do you know the optimal setting for advanced parameters for Realtek PCI-e GBE family network card?

Update the ethernet drivers, then reboot.
