ethernet speed

About this tag
Ethernet speed issues on Windows are a common topic, with users reporting slow or inconsistent wired network performance. Problems include download speeds capped at 100 Mbit/s on a 1 Gbit/s connection, gradual speed degradation over time on Windows 11 compared to other OSes, and significant speed differences between devices on the same gigabit switch. Troubleshooting steps involve checking NIC driver settings, resetting network stacks with netsh commands, testing different cables and hardware, and comparing results across operating systems to isolate software-related causes.

    Windows 10 [SOLVED] Weird Ethernet Speed Difference Betweeen 2 Devices?

    I've got a gigabit Ethernet switch with a few different gigabit-capable devices attached, one of which is a 64-bit Win 10 Pro (1511) and the other that matters is an Amazon Fire TV 2. Running a couple of different internet speed tests on the Fire TV consistently shows about 90 Mb/s speeds (never...
