Question LAN speed issue

[tomk227]

Hello,

I have CAT6 cables installed at my place and distance between 2 PCs is hardly 20 feet and Broadcom Netlink Ethernet driver which shows 1 Gbps in Ethernet Status.

Whenever I try to copy a file from my server via a shared folder to a PC the speed is hardly 12Mbps. But as it turns out my lan supports Gigabit yet only 12Mbps speed is achieved.

Here are some of the screenshots of my server:

And in the dropdown there is no option for 1000 Mbps full Dupex:

Any help is deeply appreciated.

Thanks so much!

Seems I found the issue. The client machine's motherboard supports only 100 Mbps which is the main issue here.

12 MB/s * 8 = 96mbps. So yep, sounds about right.
