Hi all,
I've upgraded to 3 GB last Wednesday, every since I am starting to get this weird issue with 2.5 GB ethernet download speed, not sure anyone have faced the similar issue or is there anything I can do to make it work.
I've tried a Belkin ethernet adapter and a Plugable ethernet adapter, both 2.5 GB, and both exhibit the same issue, and here are the issues:
I can get full 2.5 gb upload speed fine, but download speed, it seems capped at 500mbps. I've tried thinkbroadband.com/download, MS Office download and Windows download, all have the same issue.
Now here is the weird thing, when I use wifi 6e on my MacBook, I can get full 1.5 gb download and upload
As well as if I plug my ethernet to a gigabit switch, I can get the full 1 gb speed both download and upload..... The download speed with the gigabit switch is faster than with a 2.5 gb port. What's more bizarre is that I can get full speed with speedtest.net and fast.com speed test with the 2.5 adapter
To eliminate it's not my network gear, I've directly connected to the router, even tried the modem, all the same....
Called Community Fibre a few times, and they said it could my 2.5 gb adapter, but it doesn't make much sense, because these adapter are all widely and well used and the chipset is the most common chipset that's out there.... And also, why would speedtest website getting full speed?
Anyone has any experience or knowledge in networking? Would be able to share some lights that anything I can try or do?
