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.
Instead of auto setting, manually set speed at 1Gb, duplex. Then see. In the device manager can you see manufacturer of the NIC card.
Even tho Windows says latest driver, you can check the manufacturer site to see if there is latest driver.
I manually set duplex mode to the 1gb option. The computer did not even detect the ethernet cable pluged in. Tried power cyceling both pc and router still nothing, so switched it back to auto.
