[SOLVED] Someone please help, im stuck at 100KBS!!!

[TigBiddies]

I literally made this account because im so stuck. So basically my problem is, constant network issues, and sometimes its only bad on discord/ steam whilst fine on everything. So ill be on google perfectly but discord is horrendous, or same with steam, microsoft teams. Its just constant issues. When i go on the gigabyte dragon thing which came with the motherboard (just built this pc a week ago), it says i have a Realtek gaming GbE family controller, with downloads of 4.88mb... and upload of 100KBs!!!! When i go on taskmanager it seems as tho it maxes out at 100KBs, which obviously runs out very fast.

I connect to my router using TPLINK TL-PA4010 kit. So one in my bedroom and one by the router. This says it can do 100mbs, which isnt great and i will be upgrading but thats another story. I should be getting 100mbs. I read online that i should upgrade my ethernet cables from cat5 to cat6, which i have done to no prevail. It still says 100KBs. Ive downloaded all the drivers, not working. Ive even done the trick of changing auto disable gigabit, which i changed to relink, battery or AC. I also changed speed and dublex to 1.0gbps full duplex to no prevail, and green ethernet to disabled. Basically all the online help ive done. What is my issue please. Is it the tp link kit, the cables, my motherboard connection, or some other bottleneck. The motherboard i have also has advertised 1000mb/s speeds. Thanks.

the gigabyte software have bandwidth management. try turning that off?

Are you connected wired? Best thing to do is just boot a linux live cd/usb and see if that works--if so then it's just a windows F up.

Where do you have your powerline adapters plugged in, are they on an outlet alone, or do you have them plugged into a surge protector with a bunch of other power adapter on the same strip? All of which can cause you interference and slow you down.

Do you have a Coaxial cable outlet in the room with your computer? You can explore using MOCA adapters instead of powerline. Moca doesn't have the same problems with interference and will actually give you full gigabit speeds.

Dangit, I don't know how I missed the part about the powerline adapters. Connect a wire directly to your router and see if that improves it. If so, then it's the powerlines. I would unplug them and plug them back in and see if that fixes anything once you've been able to validate that the computer is okay by connecting it directly to the router.
