I have cat 6 cabale and router and laptop have gbps port and also my network provider support gbps speed still my network shows me its 100 mbps any solution?

check for damaged pins in ethernet ports. gigabit uses 4 pairs and 100 meg uses 2 pairs so maybe a bad connection in one of the ports.

Test patching directly into router, not via internal cabling.
Test different cable.
Test with different laptop.Just for fun: test WiFi, preferably 5 GHz. If that nets you more than 100 mbit then your router/ISP is the issue.
Also, what do you get when testing on e.g. Speedtest.net?
Are you paying for gigabit speeds?
Are you plugged directly into your router or into a switch? What model is your network card on your computer? What model is your router or any switched in between your computer and the router? There is probably a device that is a 10/100 device instead of a 10/100/1000 device but we need more info to diagnose the issue.
Cat 5e also supports gigabit.
Yehh
Even if you have a cat 6 rated cable depending on the cable itself, the NIC and your router will validate if it can reach 1GB speeds, if the twisted pairs in the cat 6 cable are degraded in anyway then the NIC and the router will negotiate to a speed it can support, which may be your issue here. I would try using another cat 6 cable you know is good to validate if its just a bad cable or not.
or lets say ha
Here are my checklist when this happens.
- Check the NIC on the machine and see if it supports 1 GBPS
- Check the ethernet wire to see if the cable is properly terminated or not.
- Check the port on the switch/router you are connecting to and see if that’s the culprit.
Yeah I suspect theres a cable somewhere not playing.
I m ordering new cable for that to see what a problem
And connect it to router directly. You can have problém in Wall socket.
Good idea. Check all that may be able to influence the speed. I spent an hour scratching my head about this same problem once and it was a Cat5 (fe) cable between my switch and router - I kissed it because I kept looking at the patching on the port. If cables test out fine then go ‘upstream’.
- try another cable - make sure it is CAT6 or better CAT6A
- Have a look if (even if it says so) Auto-MX is active - if it is, set connection speed manualy to 1gbps
- If there is another Port on your Providers Router, go for it
In 2. What is auto mx ? Are you talking about properties of realteck drivers?
Properties of your NIC - but also on the router - if not possible (stuff from ISP)try another port on your router first if it has more than one “Lan ports”
I already tried all the port s and also change nic settings
Your laptop probably has a broken ethernet port.
its cable most likely. try another one.
This just happened to me today lol, turns out my old Dell laptop doesn’t have a gigabit port. Got full speed on Apple TV and new laptop.
99 times out of 100 this is an issue with the cable. Be it the one in the computer or the one in the wall.
Laptop port has problem i figure out
Almost certainly the NIC in the PC. The fact that it’s exactly 100 sounds like a misconfiguration
I’ve seen 5-6 Asus Zephyrus laptops refuse to connect at anything other than 100Mbps, even after turning off the auto-neg and setting it to 1G, they would still connect to the switch at 100M.
This has all been within the last 6 months, I wonder if they released a broken driver for whatever NIC they’re using.
