[SOLVED] Internet speed stuck at 10mb/s

[qFortino]

Little backstory,we bought a new router,asus AX1500 ,set it up and everything was nice,we have the cable coming from the ISP into the router,then from the router 2 cables for my and my dads pc,the point is that i know the router has 4 ports on the back,LAN1,3,4 are for 100mb/s but LAN2 has 1000mb/s. The point is that my pc constantly switches between 100mb/s and 1000mb/s,i am not doing anything to it,i left it like that since i set up that router. On the router config page i can't do anything about the ports or using QoS just messes up things even worse. I also tried that setting on the networking card ,setting it to 1.0 GB/s duplex,it just disconnects my pc from the internet. My point is,why is it always switching? What can i do? I ran out of google answers so this brought me to you. Thanks in advance!

where did you see the switch?

and why the title said stuck at 10mbs?

Well it had 1000mb/s for like a day then it switched to 100 and it doesn't seem like it is going to switch back,and i saw the switch during a speedtest

Hi
Please try using a gigabit ethernet network switch between the router and your computers. You can also use ethernet couplers if have any.
Hope this helps.

I assume you are talking about the asus router and not the ISP router.

All 4 lan ports are gigabit. If you are looking at some display in the router that just means they negotiated the speed to 100mbps. This screen is purely for display you can not set the speed on the router ports.

The most common cause of this is poor quality or fake cables. Make sure your cables are cat5e or better. More important is that they are pure copper (no CCA) and have wire size 22-24 (no flat or thin cables).

Now it in theory could be the ports in the end devices but almost all those are also gigabit. You could have defective ports in the router or the pc but that is extremely rare and almost impossible to fix.

You want to leave the setting in your pc on auto, the router gets confused if it is expecting auto and you set it to something else. The router will only run in auto mode.

I would buy a quality cable and see if it resolved your problem, it tends to be the cheapest thing to try.

Well those are Cat5e cables and i know they are not fake or something since we have the whole box of them and we installed them,the point is that i had 1000mb/s,i mean i know they can reach that speed,the point is,why doesn't it stay the same

The ethernet speed function is in a way very simplistic. There is almost no driver/software involved other than manually being able to set the speed. The method used to detect the speed is all a hardware function based on voltages.

So if you are sure the cables are not the cause you are left with either the ports in your router or the ports in your pc. Your only real option to "fix" these is to replace the router or replace you motherboard or get a add on ethernet card.
