Be sure the ethernet drivers are up to date as well.
The RAX only supports up to 1Gb connection rates so you might set a manual connection rate on the adapter for 1Gb only.Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

I rebooted the modem and the router for about the 5th time and now I'm getting full speed. LAN2 is showing 1000M/FULL now, both desktops are using Realtek Gaming GBe 2.5 chipsets. I'm all set for now, sorry to waste you time.
