Slow download speed only on ethernet

[trim birch]

I get 500 download on wifi. But whenever I try ethernet I only get 70-80 download. my upload is not effected both get 50+. This has been happening for the past month.
Last month I ran a optimization pack from a popular fortnite discord which had a folder with registery tweaks to lower ping etc. I would assume this is what is causing the issue cause the issue occurred when i ran the tweaks. I figured reinstalling windows would revert all registry changes etc. but it doesnt seem it did. any fixes?
Things i have tried:
Reinstall windows
reinstall/update network drivers
I have also installed intel adapter configuration app and it shows this

[agile robin]

Have you tried a different Ethernet wire

[trim birch]

yes just bought a new one yesterday

its a cat8

[agile robin]

Looks like the adapter only goes to 100

[trim birch]

and my dad gets 1500 download on his pc from the same router

[agile robin]

Damn what do you have Verizon new 2 Gig

[tulip lantern]

depends what your ethernet is even going to

is it the modem or a switch

router?

[agile robin]

It says 100mbps for the speed

[trim birch]

no just xfinity

[trim birch]

its a xfinity modem to a netgear router

[tulip lantern]

what model is the netgear

[trim birch]

I know its so weird because I used to get 1300 download last month on the same pc etc.

[agile robin]

That is weird. Worth a shot can always return it just to see

[tulip lantern]

is this a laptop?

why does it say you have two

[trim birch]

R7350

[trim birch]

no desktop

[tulip lantern]

it shows two ethernet controllers

[trim birch]

motherboard has 2 ports

[agile robin]

Is your pop stealing bandwidth possibly

[tulip lantern]

ah ok

[trim birch]

no I have tried unplugging everything else

[tulip lantern]

tried both ports?

[trim birch]

yea

[agile robin]

And it’s 5g WiFi that’s getting killer speeds ?

[trim birch]

these are the reg changes i did

and im 90% sure its what is causing the isssue

but idk how to revert them

[agile robin]

Run speedtest by ookla

[tulip lantern]

that looks sus

[agile robin]

https://www.speedtest.net/

[trim birch]

thats with ethernet

[agile robin]

Yea I don’t like the way that looks either , registration entries?

[trim birch]

probably lol. its from a discord with 100k members

[agile robin]

Run ookla on WiFi for me

[trim birch]

i can open the reg changes with notepad

and it shows everything it changed

[agile robin]

I’m surprised a fresh install of windows didn’t get rid of those changes

[trim birch]

idk maybe they did and it could be something else

[agile robin]

You can check by running regedit

[trim birch]

yea just did and i dont think these changes match

such as this one
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSMQ\Parameters]
"TCPNoDelay"=dword:00000001

thats from the notepad change

but in my registry thats not even there

[agile robin]

Let me see the WiFi speed on speedtest plz

[trim birch]

k

[agile robin]

Run ncpa.cpl

[trim birch]

thats wifi

[trim birch]

in cmd?

[agile robin]

No from run when right click on windows then run ncpa.cpl then Right click the adapter and go to properties

[tulip lantern]

try a different driver

[trim birch]

okay did

[trim birch]

i can try yes

[agile robin]

Then go to configure

Click details

[trim birch]

yea

[agile robin]

Status

[trim birch]

yep

?

[agile robin]

Has problem

[trim birch]

hmmm

it does

[agile robin]

Right click the WiFi again and run the troubleshooter

[trim birch]

you know what any of that means?

[agile robin]

Should say driver loaded

[trim birch]

oh wait

i had ethernet disabled when i did the status thing

one sec

now it does lol

wait no wrong one a

[agile robin]

Also check pci max link speed

[trim birch]

how?

[agile robin]

Same window

Scroll down

[agile robin]

Ok that’s good. Run the troubleshooter

[trim birch]

this one?

[agile robin]

Yes

And then go back to the network connections and double click on the adapter

It’s a separate thing but can be done while troubleshooting

[trim birch]

tried 3 of them all said "trouble shooting couldn't identify the problem"

[agile robin]

Yeah, that adapter can only go to 100

[trim birch]

it can though

so whats stopping it?

[agile robin]

You can also hit details

And diagnose

[trim birch]

it couldn't identify the problem

[agile robin]

88 is normal on 100 doesn’t always max out

From elevated cmd run Netsh int tp set global autotuninglevel-normal
ок.

[trim birch]

Netsh int tp set global autotuninglevel-normal

that entire thing?

[agile robin]

Yes

[agile robin]

That’s weird hold on a sec I’m going to try on my pc

Try ipconfig /release and then ipconfig/renew

[trim birch]

i have a feeling its the driver i installed

[trim birch]

k

[agile robin]

Also ipconfig /flushdns

[trim birch]

done

[agile robin]

Netsh interface tcp show global

[agile robin]

Tcp. Sorry mistype

[trim birch]

also i just click update driver and windows updated it

but its still 100mbps

driver is now 1.1.3.34

[agile robin]

K now try netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=normal

[agile robin]

K just press up button and run command before last again

[trim birch]

done

[agile robin]

Pic plz

[trim birch]

like that right?

or did you mean that?

[agile robin]

Your good. Now netsh interface tcp show heuristics

[agile robin]

netsh interface tcp set heuristics disabled

netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="StopThrottling" dir=in action=block remoteip=173.194.55.0/24,206.111.0.0/16 enable=yes

[agile robin]

Run speedtest

[trim birch]

😦

[agile robin]

Got a few more but again 100 doesn’t always run at 100

Try a different provider on speedtest

Change server

[trim birch]

k

ill run a test on my dads pc too

just to make sure its me

[agile robin]

From cmd can also try Ping google.com

[agile robin]

Just about maxed out

[trim birch]

This is my dads pc

[agile robin]

I use these for my laptops with 100 network cards

Check his adapter tho

[tulip lantern]

@trim birch i have the same netowrk card and this is the version im on it works normal

[agile robin]

Run ncpa.cpl and double click adapter

[agile robin]

Yep 1 gig adapter

[trim birch]

im prety sure i was on that driver but then windows updated me to this one like 10 mins ago

[tulip lantern]

you can try rolling it back

[trim birch]

my mobo is z690 classified and it has 2x Intel 2.5 Gb/s

[trim birch]

yea let me try

[agile robin]

If you have 2 did you try the other one?

[trim birch]

nvm it rolled back to this one

this is where i went to update my driver

[trim birch]

yes

[agile robin]

I have Verizon and this is as fast as I can get with 25 other devices running

[tulip lantern]

might have to download a different one

but i let windows updates install mine

[trim birch]

how? it doesnt give me option

[agile robin]

Your best bet for drivers would be your motherboard type make and model

[trim birch]

[agile robin]

If a cd came with your MB it has all the drivers you need

[trim birch]

i think a small usb did

but idk if i have it anymore tbh

[agile robin]

Then you’ll have to go to the MB website and drivers for that make and model

What z690 is it.

[trim birch]

classified

[agile robin]

Ok so you were in the right place

[trim birch]

i found the usb

[agile robin]

Sweet

Auto run that beeatch

[trim birch]

just install these id assume?

[agile robin]

There you go brother

I’d install them all

[trim birch]

bet

[agile robin]

Maybe not raid unless your using that

[trim birch]

no i dont

[agile robin]

Let me know how it goes.

[trim birch]

👍

[trim birch]

i installed everything and i still get 80 download lol

[tulip lantern]

do you have any programs that might be controlling your network card?

[trim birch]

not that i know of

i reinstalled windows this morning

and only installed discord and my browser

i dont even think it changed my driver

[tulip lantern]

if you click update driver

and then select let me choose

you can see all the drivers

thats installed

but you can only choose one at a time

[trim birch]

i dont see where i can choose?

[tulip lantern]

browse

[trim birch]

ahh i see

i installed the same one you have

[tulip lantern]

still slow?

[trim birch]

let me check

nah still 90

[tulip lantern]

must be something else then

you sure theres nothing installed?

sometimes the motherboard use some utility software or people install software designed to control some parts of the pc

those usually suck

[trim birch]

from my knowledge yes im 99% sure i didnt install something

but im 0% sure something auto installed

any way to check?

[tulip lantern]

just look at your installed programs in settings

[tulip lantern]

hm yeah i dont see anything

does the ethernet cable go directly to the router? or does it go to the wall

[trim birch]

router

[agile robin]

You can check your router also but doesn’t seem like that’s the issue if your pops machine is cranking.

[tulip lantern]

could check and see if theres a setting on the modem

or try connecting directly to the modem and see if its slow

[agile robin]

If you have xfinity type 10.0.0.1 in browser and find the admin code on your router type that in and u have full access to the router

[trim birch]

I have my xfinity modem in bridge mode. Then my netgear router in router mode connects to my xfinity modem

So I can’t really connect to my xfinity modem

Cause it doesn’t give internet unless you connect to the netgear box

I can try turning off bridge mode

[agile robin]

You don’t want to make things worse. If your ISP will come out for no charge I’d let them. They may be able to troubleshoot on site it’s much easier

It if you go in the router just make sure your only looking not changing stuff unless you research it first

[trim birch]

yea I wont

my isp comes out no charge but I really dont think its me wifi

i think its my pc

but I dont know ill try to do some more research my self

but it seems everyone else is stumped lol

thanks for helping as much as you guys could

[agile robin]

I’ll come back when I have some time and check on you.

You can try this and return if doesn’t make a difference or you don’t need it.

[forest tangle]

what's the path from the original modem to your pc? what all is connected in between?

[trim birch]

okay ill look into it

[trim birch]

It goes from coax cable provided by xfinity into a xfinity modem in bridge mode into a R7350 netgear router then ethernet directly into my pc

[forest tangle]

i would do a test with a direct ethernet from your modem to your pc to verify if its a pc problem or maybe something with your router

[trim birch]

i can try but im unsure how to get my xfinity modem out of bridge mode

[trim birch]

well after an hour of reading multiple threads etc. nothing is working so I'm assuming both of my ethernet ports must have gone bad or something. which I don't believe at all but I don't see any other answer

[tulip lantern]

why would the modem be in bridge mode?

didn’t know you could do that with a modem

[agile robin]

Does your pop pc use that bridge.

[forest tangle]

did you try the direct connection to modem? I think bridge mode won't have any affect here since we're just testing 1 connection

[agile robin]

Also does your pops pc use that bridge?

[trim birch]

Bridge mode just makes it so that the modem doesn’t give off another wifi connection and only gives the router the connection. So I guess yes my dad uses the bridge mode

[trim birch]

Yes I took the modem out of bridge mode yesterday and it didn’t fix my issue

[forest tangle]

so off bridge mode and directly connected to the modem, still have issues? have you tried booting to another OS like ubuntu to see if the connection is still slow?

[tiny sable]

Does the ethernet go right into the modem/router or is there a hub in the mix?

[pastel dagger]

hi, is your motherboard gigabit?

have you tried changing this?

[trim birch]

Yes

[trim birch]

No it’s a z690 classified

[pastel dagger]

i meant the rj45 connector is gigabit

lol

but yes, after seeing in the evga site, it is indeed a gigabit

[trim birch]

The huh? Lol

The network adapter?

I think it’s intel no?

[pastel dagger]

its where you insert the ethernet cable

[pastel dagger]

wait

are you connecting on which port in your modem?

[trim birch]

Yea which is intel I225-v

[trim birch]

Wym? Just one of the normal Ethernet ones. And no it’s not the one for the modem to the router

[pastel dagger]

sometimes, "older" modem or routers the speed in the cable are capped at 100mbps

[trim birch]

but ive ran 1200mbps on the same router and modem like a month ago and my dad also gets 1000mbps on the same router

[tulip lantern]

wired right ?

[trim birch]

yes

[tulip lantern]

could test it on linux or something see if it’s os/driver related

[tiny sable]

LETS NOT WASTE ANY MORE TIME, TAKE YOUR PC OVER TO YOUR FATHERS DESK UNPLUG HIS ETHERNET AND PLUG IT INTO YOUR COMPUTER

test it

if its fixed then you have a hub/cabling issue

if its not fixed then you have a port issue on your pc

at this point if it ends up being a port issue you might want to consider a new ethernet adapter

[trim birch]

update just bought a new PCIE Network Adapter and am still getting 100 mbps. so I'm stumped because i have already tried
New ethernet cord
New Network Adapter
New install of windows
New router

only thing i can assume is its something within windows but i have reinstalled windows it doesn't make sense?

[tulip lantern]

you got a new router?

[tulip lantern]

also where are you downloading the drivers from?

[forest tangle]

try using ubuntu or another OS

[trim birch]

actually just fixed it and its the weirdest reason why. It was the cable even after buying a brand new cable. I managed to use a friends old one and it get 1000 download with it. So yes the brand new cat 8 I bought must have been faulty and was only getting me 100 download, same with my old ethernet cord. which tbh makes no sense how they both out of nowhere just break but atleast its fixed
