X870E Taichi Lite connecting at 100 mbps

[junpit]

my X870E Taichi Lite has an issue with it’s wired networking. It uses the Realtek family driver and is supposedly rated for 5gbe. Mine connects to my deco WiFi 7 router at 100 mbps. It should be connecting at 2.5gbe.

I have a couple of 2.5 gbe switches which work ok with the decos. Is this something other people have come across?

Thanks.

I’m not seeing this issue. I’m running the latest bios 3.10, latest windows 11 and AMD Drivers. Are you?

Actually, my hardwired connection won’t go faster than 100 no matter what I do. Wifi7 is fine. I’m going to troubleshoot.

There’s now a 3.12 BIOS upgrade, but it’s Beta.

When you say connecting, do you mean the negotiated speed is 100 Mb or the throughput is 100 Mbps? If the negotiated speed is too low, try forcing it to the correct speed: Link speed negotiation can be forced in Windows through device manager on the device properties.

If this is a throughput issue, however, that's a different story. It's important to know which one it is.

Both. And I’ve manually adjusted the speed within windows device manager. My UDM pro is reporting 100 too. I’ve even changed the cable.

 

[aaronyuri]

When you adjust it via device manager, what speed does the link connect at? It should be what you have set in device manager.

It maintains 100Mbps no matter what I do.

I’m doing some tests (Ex sys admin, IT Manager, now IT director here)

Tried a crossover cable direct to another device? Seems weird to constantly get 100Mb/FE as the negotiated speed.

I have the same board on 3.10 and I noticed windows (and linux) did not install drivers automatically for the RTL8126. But manually installing and it's running at expected speeds (connected to 2.5gbe switch > router 2.5gbe port. Did you figure out the issue?

Same my Taichi Lite with 3.10 Bios seems ok at 2.5gig.

The dodgy fan headers on the other hand are another thing entirely.

Mines now running OK at 2.5GB. Updated to 3.15 BIOS and used the drivers from Asrock.

Dodgy fan headers? What issue are you having.

There’s now a 3.16 BIOS
