Hi there
Wondering if someone could help me out here.
I've had this board (Z390 Gaming SLI) for a few years now and today I noticed some slowness when downloading a large file.
I did some speed tests and they reported my connection to be running at 94 Mbps. This is not usual - I have a 200 Mbps line and I have always pretty much hit 200 consistently.
I use a Ubiquiti Dream Machine Pro and had a look around in the settings - Sure enough, UDM is reporting my desktop as "FE 100Mbps", so its not recognising the GbE . I'm using Windows 11 - Windows 11 also reports 100Mbps on the Interface settings
Thinking that perhaps it was a cable problem, I tried 3 different ethernet cables and it didn't make any difference.
The UDM Pro allows a speed text itself, testing my WAN speed and it reports 220Mbps which is normally what I get.
I've tried numerous other things - Such as downloading the NIC driver from Gigabyte, trying a generic Intel driver, messing around with numerous Windows settings etc. Nothing has worked.
I suspect the cause here might be due to me flashing the BIOS 2 days ago. I was running F9 and updated to F10. I've never looked in the BIOS at Ethernet settings, but trying to diagnose this I went into the BIOS and took a look at LINK SPEED (which was set to Auto-Negotiated) and it doesn't allow me to select 1000Mbps - That isn't an option. It only shows 100Mbps?
Could this be because of the BIOS update? Or could someone suggest something else?
I was thinking of activating the backup BIOS (as I can't downgrade from F10, tried ) which hasn't been touched since I bought the board to rule out the BIOS issue but wanted to see if someone had any other ideas?
Many thanks.
