I recently upgraded my home internet to 2Gb fiber. I purchased a TRENDnet 2.5G USB-C to RJ-45 Ethernet Adapter (TUC-ET2G) to take full advantage of the high speeds.
The adapter works great if I plug it into my MacBook or Linux machines; I'm getting the full 2Gbps that I would expect.
Unfortunately, when I plug the adapter into my Windows 11 workstation, and test using speedtest.net, I'm only getting around half that.
I have tried various debugging steps (changing drivers, disabling firewall and antivirus software, changing adapter duplex settings, etc.). Nothing I've tried seems to make any noticeable difference.
I have ordered another brand of adapter (an Anker USB C to 2.5 Gbps Ethernet Adapter) and will see if it makes any difference, but I was talking to a friend who has two different adapters, and he has seen the exact same thing with his Windows 11 machines, while he's getting the full speed from his other devices.
I wondered if anyone had any suggestions on what else I should try. TIA!
