Is it the cable, the switch, or the Gigabyte LAN driver?

    guys pls help i pay for gigabit fiber and my home server is wired, but speed tests top out at roughly 95 Mbps 👍 Windows says the link speed is 100/100 Mbps. Thats suspicious, cuz before the Gigabyte P2542G WLAN Driver 15.1.1.1 update it showed 1000 and i was getting full speed. Heres what the adapter status looks like:

    USB Audio Device Properties

    USB Audio Device Properties
Device status:
This device cannot start. (Code 10)

{Operation Failed}
The requested operation was unsuccessful.

    i haven't touched the cable or the router. Can a drievr update realy change teh negotiated speed, or is it a coincidence and something physical is going on? seriously need help here 😭

    Also on the Advanced tab, look for Energy Efficient Ethernet, Green Ethernet or Advanced EEE and disable them as a test :D Power saving features can cause negotiation trouble with some switches.

    ahh classic check teh adapter settings: Device Manager > Network adapters > Ethernet > Properties > Advanced, find Speed & Duplex and make suree its Auto Negotiation. updates sometimes reset or chnage this... dont force 1000 full unless auto fails.

    lol same thing happened to me check for a hidden power issue: under Power Management tab, untick Allow teh computer to turn off this device and see if negotiation behaves after reboot. good luck man!

    yeahhh if the laptop gets ggiabit on the same cable and port, roll back the LAN driver in Device Manager > Properties > Driver > Roll Back Driver, or install teh motherboard makers version from their support page. good luck man!
