Unplug the ethernet cable at the pc plug the cable into the laptop.
Make sure the laptop is set to use ethernet and not wifi....test.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned this yet.

These 2.5gbe things have been problematic.

Get a PCIe ethernet controller, and try that.

I guess first is to try to see if it is a software or hardware problem.

So the best way to eliminate software is to boot something like a linux usb image. There are many of these that run completely from the USB and have things like browsers installed. Some have other tools to troubleshoot broken installs but the simple web browser will run speedtest. It unfortunately will not show you what you need to fix in windows just that there is no hardware issue.

Since you have a second machine you can also try a old line mode tool called IPERF. This tests very basic transfer between machine in your house. Since it does not use web browsers, or disk or even much memory or cpu it will show if the physical ports are working and low level functions like drivers work.

I would also check your machine to be sure there is no so called "gaming" network software installed. This is garbage software you many times find bundled in the bloatware with motherboards or vide cards. Anything that claims to favor one kind of traffic over the other you want to uninstall.

If the laptop works that shows the ethernet connection is good.

Connect the cable back to the pc.
Open settings/network and internet.
Does it show the connection is ethernet?
If so click on properties.
What does the link speed show?

 

[kazhh]

Did you contact with your internet provider about your speed? Maybe there is a maintenance in your area.

no theres no maintenance ive had this problem since i built my pc 2 years ago
