Wired Ethernet line to pc is running at 100mbps instead of 1gb
I just connected my pc via ethernet cable (Cat5e) to the nighthawk r7000. It blinks red and is running at 100mbps, instead of 1 gb. The troubleshooting steps I have already done are as follows. ...
Okay so I purchased a ethernet cable tester, turns out the cable was indeed bad. I went ahead and created a new cable, and it does have a gigabit connection.
Lesson learned dont trust your laptops lan port, try more than on device, and most likely it is the cable.
Do you what the max rated speed of the pc's lan port is?
You said a laptop you have gets the 1 gb connect if connected the routers lan ports so it has to be the lan port on the pc.
It's is possible that the lan port is only a 10/100 mb port or a bad lan cable.
Sound like th pc may have 10/100 mb port is this pc a desk top or laptop?
If this is the case you will only get 100 mb max?
A desktop you could upgrade the lan card or add a 1 gb lan card a laptop mey be a usb to 1 gb lan adaptor
