So in my PC case I have two systems, both pretty decent (X570 Aorus Master and X570I Aorus Pro Wifi). Both motherboards have a gigabit Ethernet socket. I've connected them both with a Cat6a (30cm) cable. I'm assuming the max theoretical speed of gigabit ethernet is 125 Mb/s (so an expected speed of lets say 80 Mb/s easily). I'm only getting speeds of about 8Mb's which is exactly what it should be if it was 100mbps ethernet. There shouldn't be any storage speed bottle necks (PCIe4 M2 SSD (in the Aorus Master) going to standard Sata SSD (on the I Aorus Pro Wifi).
Both motherboards have a feature where there is a coloured LED with each ethernet port that's colour denotes speed. They're both lighting up in orange which is the correct colour for a gigabit connection.
Anyone got any ideas on how to get this working properly?
