Question Slow internet connection 180mbps instead of 1Gbps

[relapse1449]

Hi there, so my issue is that i upgraded to the 1Gbps internet and when i'm doing a speed test my PC only goes up to 180 Mbps. But my other PC right beside it goes up to 800Mbps which i think is decent.

Here's what i have done yet

Made sure im using Cat E5 cable
Switch both Ethernet Cable and i have the same result on both PC ( 180 on main ) ( 800 on 2nd)
my Motherboard is an ASrock X99 extreme 3 and is Gbps ready
Used a brand new TP-Link Gigabit PCI Express Adapter
my modem is an Arris Touchstone TG2472 when i'm looking into my Modem Interface i can see that my LAN port is ''Enable'' State is ''up'' and speed is 1000(FULL) for both PC
In my Network and Sharing Center my Ethernet Status is fine and it shows up Speed 1.0 Gbps
In device Manager my Speed & Duplex is set to '' Auto Negotiation'' and i tried to put it on 1.0 Gbps Full Duplex
Tried the Jumbo Frame ''enable'' and ''Disable''
Drivers are ALL up to date
Windows is up to date
Runned Malware byte and Windows defender to make sure everything is okay.
Tried my speed test with windows Defender off still the same.
i tried multiple website for a speedtest and its still the same.

i Guess my last hope would be a PC format which i don't really want to try.

Any Idea guys? ( I heard some X99 Motherboard had some weird program in it that could throttle the internet speed but i cannot really find anything about it)

Have you tried using the built in NIC? Its an Intel I218V and they are typically some of the best NICs out there.

It might just be the onboard limiting the flow

 

[jimmysmitty]

SO you have tried the onboard?

Its doing this on the onboard and PCIe card?

ive done it on the onboard and then after that i bought the new PCI-E card and still same issue on both of em

Windows default don't throttle anything, so if there is such a thing in there, you put it in.

i have not installed anything that would slow my connection

 

[jimmysmitty]

If it is doing it on both it has to be a setting on the OS somewhere as default is full beans per say.

Also a side note, 800Mbps is very good especially since you have whats called burst gigabit, this is the majority of consumer 1Gbps internet speeds. If it was true ethernet Gigabit it would be costly as it is guaranteed Gigabit speed. Just ask a company that pays for it.

It could be the browser or disk or something else. Since you have 2 machines try tests between the machines. Copy very large files between them and watch the network tab in the resource monitor for the rates....be aware some are in BYTES and some are in BITS on this screen.

You can also try a old line mode program called IPERF. This is simplistic it pretty much only tests the network interface and drivers. It is extremely small so it is not affected by cpu/memory/disk etc.

Just did a transfer between my slow internet pc to my fast internet pc and i got an average transfer of 140mbps to 220mbps

Just did an Iperf from my Quick pc to my slow pc here's the result

This means the problem is likely in something other than the network hard or its drivers. Be sure to run the IPERF the other direction to be really sure.

The most likely suspect is the hard drive or maybe some other software interfering. Make sure you do not have any old vpn crap partially installed. Software than claims to be "gaming" accelerators also cause issue.

Maybe do the file copies and watch the various tabs in the resource monitor for a clue. Maybe you see some process that is not normal.

These are extremely hard when it is not something simple like a busted ethernet cable

so its basicly the same..???

 

[bill001g]

Yup now the hard work starts. At least you know it is not the cable or nic.

 

[relapse1449]

Allright guys i finnaly Solved my issue!!!! i had to use a 3rd part program to do so it was a Registry Issue

https://www.speedguide.net/ took 3 second to optimise my Registry did a reboot and boom 800+ Mbps download!

Thanks for the time and the help
