network speeds not what it needs to be

[pastel ether]

i got a new pc and then for some reason my connection kept going on and off
so i switched to another cable but im getting really slow speeds like 10x less then what im supposed to get
when i plugged the cable out and back it it was to the speeds it needs to be and then after some time its back to the bad speeds

[lyric ocean]

yeah someone need an expert here because i have the same issue

[wild egret]

are you sure you are measuring in the same units because if you have 100mbit/s you would get 12 MB/s

actually let me rephrase 100mbit=12MB

[pastel ether]

im getting 8-9 mbit

[wild egret]

and are supposed to get 100?

[pastel ether]

yes
when i re plugged the cable i got 100 for sometime

[wild egret]

checked drivers?

[pastel ether]

how ?

[lyric ocean]

Go to your mother

and search for it

[pastel ether]

? Wym

[lyric ocean]

the board

the mother on your board

[pastel ether]

Yea but like how do I do that
I'm out RN so I'll Google it later

[lyric ocean]

dont care

[sage geyser]

Ok google your motherboard name and download the driver for it

Do this when you are home

And download the appropriate driver for your Ethernet

Speed of internet depends on three things, the minimum viable internet speed you got on your part set by your ISP and the maximum speed of your crappiest tech part. Like a limiting router/ cable / bad WiFi connection .

Last thing depends on the limit the other party has you are downloading from

[pastel ether]

uh what
im not able to understand thatt
can u just explain it a bit more
i google serched the board i found the website but cant find the drivers
and where should i put them ?

[pastel ether]

also how to check where the drivers are ?

[pastel ether]

bump

[thick orchid]

@pastel ether by any chance you got msi dragon center?

[pastel ether]

ima download it

[eternal lance]

Oh the manufacturer's page for your motherboard in the drivers section there should be a link to download the latest ?network? drivers for your mobo

Or Google "<your mobo model> network drivers" and see what comes up

[pastel ether]

im at the page and cant see a place for drivers

https://www.asrock.com/mb/amd/a320m-hdv r4.0/index.asp#Overview

[eternal lance]

Support > download and download realtek lan driver

[pastel ether]

ok i unzipped the file then what ?

[eternal lance]

Install

[pastel ether]

how ?

[pastel ether]

where should i install

[eternal lance]

There should be an .exe file in there

[eternal lance]

The default location that it wants to install in should be fine

[pastel ether]

i see one called setup ima click it

[eternal lance]

Yes that one

Just so next and when it finishes restart pc

[pastel ether]

restarted did a speed test and same thing

[eternal lance]

Then I'm not sure what the issue could be

Maybe windows problems but it doesn't sound right

[pastel ether]

the weirdest thing was when i replugged the cable it was normal and then became bad again

[eternal lance]

I will sleep for a bit and if someone else can't help I will try to help more

[eternal lance]

Yeah that is really weird

Never had that problem

you can try to test the Ethernet cable on another pc, it's possible that it could be the problem. Although I doubt but doesn't hurt to try

[pastel ether]

things that i dont have another pc

[sage geyser]

Could be the cable is broken near the plug and needs a replug

[pastel ether]

i got the connecter thingy changed

and i had got a new wire
doubt a new wire is broken

[sage geyser]

Nope don’t think that’s the case

Did you try resetting the router?

[pastel ether]

yes

[pastel ether]

iv litterally tried everything thats there

[thick orchid]

No, no need of download, sometimes msi dragon center reduces network speed

[pastel ether]

Ah ok

[pastel ether]

so well what should i do

[sage geyser]

Contact your isp and explain the issue

If it’s not on your side it’s on the ISP side

Explain what you got and what you need to get and ask them to help you

Could be an configuration issue on their side

[pastel ether]

Could it be a hardware issue
Cause it happened since I got a new pc

[sage geyser]

Can be .. did you update your motherboard Ethernet drivers?

Go to motherboard website and install the latest drivers for your Ethernet card

Also don’t forget to call your isp ( internet service provider) to explain the issue

They can help you aswell
