Connection chaos(no longer chaotic )

[Xystophori]

I have built a pc with 1gbps ethernet but my plusnet hub one will only let it work at 100mbps help me fix this pleas

Start by trying a different cable.

 

[Xystophori]

What do you mean by that (do you mean ethernet cable)

 

[bremen1874]

Yes, the Ethernet cable.

A faulty or partially wired (some only have two pairs connected instead of all four) cable can knock a connection down to 100Mbps.

Didn't work

Is it a direct connection to the router? No additional switches or Powerline adapters?

Did your previous PC connect at Gigabit?

Is it definitely a Hub One and not a Hub Zero?

Have you installed the network drivers for the new motherboard? What is the motherboard?

Might be worth just checking these options in the adapter:





That is of course assuming that the router is 1gb/s capable?

I use a tp link that has worked before with my xbox at 1 gigabit it is a hub one I have a b450 tomahawk max and I don't know about the ethernet drivers I have not installed them but the ethernet port works at 100mbps but it's supposed to be 1gbps

 

[bremen1874]

For testing remove the Powerline adapters from the equation (assuming that's what you're referring to as 'tp link').

Are you doing anything that needs a connection faster than 100Mbps?

That motherboard appears to have a Realtek 8111H Ethernet controller. Google '8111H 100mbps', or similar, and see if other people have had the same issue and found a solution.

It says to update the Driver but that doesn't seem to work

It is but the router won't set it to 1gbps

 

[bremen1874]

What do you want to know?

If you're having problems checking and possibly updating the drivers provide more details,

It says to update the Driver but that doesn't seem to work

What's 'It'?
In what way doesn't it seem to work?

Also, you never confirmed whether you were using Powerline adapters or not.

 

[Vince]

yea im confused as well, what is the device connected to? is the pc connected via ethernet directly to the router?

 

[Xystophori]

I am using powerline that has worked at 1gbps before. I keep trying the driver but the button that says modify when I click it doesn't work

 

[bremen1874]

You really need to try without the Powerline adapters. It's a basic fault finding step. If you don't, and they are the problem, you'll never find a solution. Them working previously, with different equipment, proves nothing.

If you haven't got a cable long enough move the PC or router so they are close enough. The router doesn't need to be connected to the phone line to check whether it connects at Gigabits speeds on its LAN ports.

It'll take you 5 minutes.

 

[Xystophori]

Ok but what about the driver (will test without powerline)

Yup my tp link has developed a flaw

Thank you for helping will a 3 pin fan work with a 4 pin controller

 

[RJC]

Normally, yes - the tab is off centered for 3 pin connections.

 

[Xystophori]

Thanks
