[SOLVED] Link speed problem

[99StefanRO]

Hello, guys!

Today my network provider came to install my optical fiber inside my house, so my contract speed is now 10x bigger (1000 mbps coming from 100 ), although my network tab from Task Manager still shows the link speed of 100 mbps (The speed tests are higher now but I am pretty sure they have to be even higher, not only 94 mbps download - SpeedTest tested ). My router can handle 1000, my motherboard also ( Gigabyte GA-P75-D3, having a Realtek GbE LAN chip (10/100/1000 Mbit) LAN adapter ).

What do I have to do to increase the speed on my PC? Meaning, what can I do to make it see all these 1000 mbps and show it in my TM?

It most likely means you have a bad cable. Start with a brand new factory made cat5e or cat6 cable.

My cables are quite new ( around 1.5 years ), mmm well not new but still - not old. And even though, I guess it could at least read 1000 mbps, but not reach it.

Now, I got a little more to ask:

Could it be because of the router? (it goes up to 1000) Should I reset it and set it up again?
