quote:OS: Windows 10  The tech guy from my internet service came by to test my connection. When he hooked his laptop in directly to the modem, it was getting 750-850 MBps. So, the speed is getting to my house. However, when I hook my computer directly to the modem, it's only 20-30 MBps faster than where I'm clocking at (So, I'm only getting about 380 MBps hooked directly into the modem). Things checked: - I am using nothing but Cat 6 and Cat 5e cables. - I made sure my ethernet port is capable of 1000MBps speeds (and it is):   - I also checked my router, and it is capable of 1000MBps and says the connections it has are switched to it:  My PC is hooked into LAN1 Also, the internet symbol on my router is orange instead of green (apparently green signifies gigabit internet from what I've googled) What is going onnnnnnn?? 89 fucked around with this message at 23:45 on Dec 1, 2016 |

I like to think that directly connecting to my computer from my modem and still getting under 400 MBps says something about it being something with my computer. So, it's not the router. Thing is, I just made sure the Network adapters were up to date, my motherboard supports 1000MBps connections, the cable is a brand new cat 6 and I was getting the same speeds with the old cat 5e I had hooked up to it. What gives?

Your motherboard isn't exactly a top of the line board (in fact iirc ASROCK is a budget brand), and yes, the chipset might say you can get 1Gbps, there's no way you're going to get that. Just quick googling I find a ton of people complaining about the throughput of the on-board NIC. If you really want 1Gbps (or as close as you're going to get) I'd go buy a separate PCI-E NIC and slap it in there. *edit* Also, dunno how old your stuff is, but as components age, they're not going to perform at their peak anymore.

I built this computer 3 years ago. Any PCI-E NIC should do that supports 1000MBps? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833106121 ? 89 fucked around with this message at 01:19 on Dec 2, 2016 |

That motherboard already has an Intel Gigabit adapter so buying another one isn't going to help. Do you have any third-party antivirus, firewall, or Internet Security software installed? If so, uninstall it completely.

No change.

Basically you're down to a bunch of frustrating tweaking and troubleshooting. Here's a guide from Intel on how to tune network performance, it's mostly meant for 10Gig adapters but most of the same tips apply for GigE. Windows will also throttle network throughput for optimal system performance in some situations, this page from Microsoft has details and instructions on how to disable it.

Turned off the throttle and did everything in the first article short of adjusting the TCPWindowSize cause I can't find it in the registry. Same result  Well except a little slower so I had to undo the changes 89 fucked around with this message at 01:56 on Dec 3, 2016 |

Ok, so, I've got the new router/modem combo set up. Speedtest has gotten me 485 MBps on one test. Sometimes it hits 450 and then lowers to 200ish which is strange behavior, I guess? However, I just tried to speedtest on my provider's website and it listed me at 870 MBps. Which one is right?! My IP's test: https://www.conwaycorp.com/services/internet

Which speed test did the technician do? If it's fast inside your ISP's network but slow outside it, that means the bottleneck is at your ISP's connectivity. It isn't really reasonable to expect 1000mbps of throughput over the Internet, just to it.

As their website's speed test was down at the time. I mean, 480 MBps is loving insane regardless. I'm just trying to make sure I'm getting what I'm suspposed to. Nowwww, my 5GHz wifi is only hitting about 150 MBps, that's a different problem.

Here's all the speed tests I've done:quote:Speedtest.net: So, which one do I believe? And is it strange the same upload speed is being reported? I was getting 45 MBps upload yesterday.

89 posted:Here's all the speed tests I've done: You can believe all of them as you'll get different speeds to different parts of the country/world. If you want to be really thorough I'd advise you to test on all those sites for a few more days to get a fuller picture. That upload speed has changed slightly but that's normal. No ISP speeds are perfectly constant. Another test you can do is open up cmd prompt (as administrator) and type things like pathping 4.2.2.2 pathping google.com pathping baidu.com pathping yandex.ru It can take a few minutes depending on how many hops it goes through. That would show if your ISP has issues somewhere. Paste results here if you want.

That router cannot route gigabit. AT ALL You are going to need a serious router and probably an Ubiquity Edgerouter (x?). Look in the home networking thread.

Ah well, no idea on that model. Still, i'd get a Ubiquity router.
