Model: TG-3468  
Hardware Version: V3
Firmware Version: 9.1.409.2015

Dear reader,

 

A while ago i build a new PC. Considering my dad told me that we had a 250Mb internet speed in the house i ran some tests. On my pc i saw i was only getting around 80-90 Mb download and 20 upload which is decent. But knowing we had the capability to go higher i went on a search. I found a device that supposedly should handle the 250 Mb internet speed and bought it right away. it is the TG-3468 and i installed it in the PCi e slot in my computer. i started up the computer again and checked if the software was up to date. which it was. it still showed me the 80-90Mb and as i checked on the back of the adapter it was flashing the little green light on the slot for 100Mb. So im wondering now: what went wrong? Anybody that can help me with this? :)

Im dutch, we have ZIGGO internet. And the computer i build has a MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX Motherboard. I dont know if it has to do with the build limitations or something with the settings. 

 

Kind regards,

Tamminga

 

EDIT: I saw on a different post the following step to try: https://www.tp-link.com/support/faq/2265/

I did this and it said 100MBps

Same here. Oddly it negotiates at 1 Gb under Win 10 but only 100 Mb under XP. Any ideas, @Kevin_Z?

Hello people, I have the same problem on Win 10, I already change cables / bought this adapter / Speed & Duplex to 1.0gbps Full Duplex and... Nothing, really can't understand the problem.

Anyone have a solution for this?

Many thanks
