TPLINK LAN speed defaults to 100/100 after PC is turned off
Hey,
I upgraded my home fiber to 500/500 from 100/100. I had to buy a new router and upgraded all the cables to support such speeds. After this I did get 500/500 and didnt think much of it, well the other day I was finally dowloading something and was confused why I was getting the same speeds as before and did speedtest and there it was 100/100. I did some digging in the settings and saw that my lan port was 100mbs full duplex. I changed these settings and finally got it to 1000mps full duplex. I shut my PC for the right and the next day we are back at 100/100. I have not found any info what could be resetting this and I have no idea how to even google something related to this. I wouldnt want to keep my PC on for no reason, but it irritates me that everytime I boot I have to do some magic in the settings and I dont even know what Im doing, just doing random things.
Check your ethernet port status here:
If the negotiated speed on port where you've connected your PC is 100 mbps, move the PC to a different port and if that doesn't help change the ethernet cable.
" I have set the negotiation to 1000 and I can get 1000/1000 out of it. " This setting is only for the WAN (Internet) port:
If the LAN port speed is 100mbps instead of 1000mbps, try changing the ethernet cable as I suggested earlier.
Updating PC network card driver to the latest release might help as well.
If that still doesn't help you can contact your local support for further assistance.
