Question Why my ethernet speed is only 100 when i have 1gb internet

[Mörtti]

I have cat 6 ethernet cable so that must not be the case. Every time i do internet speed test it starts from 1000mpbs but then quickly drops to 100mpbs i think it is not normal.

Just so we're on the same page, are you sure your package is 1000mbps and not 1000MBps? On a side note, make sure your motherboard's BIOS is up to date and then reinstall your NIC adapter's drivers.

how to check if my motherboards BIOS is up to date? My package is 1000MBps sorry.

If you have in-wall wiring, that is the first place to check. Next if you have "flat" cables, try replacing them with round 100% copper cat5e cables.
There are hundreds of junk cables sold on amazon and other sites. Just because it says "cat6" doesn't mean it isn't a junk cable.

I do have pretty bad motherboard that doesn't even support overclocking and ram 2133mhz. If i buy new does that help and fix this problem?

My ethernet cable that is cat 6 is going straight to the router.

Need more info:
Motherboard p/n?
Network adapter p/n? on MB board or card?
Is your adapter rated for 1000Mps?

Mörtti, if you're using Windoze, go download Belarc PC Advisor, which will generate a complete report on your computer system (internal devices, network speed, etc), without you having to manually type in everything here on TomsHardware. Click here to get the tool, it's free, and it's been available for years. If you're using a Linux Operating System, get me the following outputs from Terminal:

netstat -a eth0

sudo ifconfig

I see you're in Europe, like myself. I also saw you hit 850Mbps for a blink, then throttled down to sub-200Mbps.
