All of a sudden my desktop isnt getting full download speeds. I tested it approx. 3wks ago and it was fine. I have tried wiring with two new Cat.5 cables and WIFI. I am only getting 90mbps now...it was apprx. 220mbps. I uninstalled the driver and reinstalled a new one. Not sure what even happened to make it quit working? The cable co came in and checked on multiple devices and even replaced the modem. It's only my desktop??? Any help????

I have an HP desktop, 550-a114; AMD A8-6410 APU with AMD Radeo R5 Graphics 2.00ghz
Windows 10, 64bit.

You indicated you "have an HP desktop, 550-a114; AMD A8-6410 APU with AMD Radeo R5 Graphics 2.00ghz
Windows 10, 64bit."

The info at https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c04755753 shows
LAN: 100BASE-T

  • Technology: Realtek RTL8106E-CG
  • Data transfer speeds: up to 10/100 Mb/s
  • Transmission standards: 100BASE-T Ethernet

Pretty much limits your speed to 100 Mb/s. If the above info said 10/100/1000, you would have been able to operate up to 1Gb/s.
