Specs:
CPU: AMD Sempron 2650
Mobo: Asus Mini ITX Am1I-A
8 gb DDR3
So I've got a gigabit network with an HTPC in my main room and a few other PC's around the house.
Every device on the network gets blazing fast speeds doing an OOKLA sppedtest (anywhere from 70-100Mb/s down and 6-8Mb/s Upload
Every device EXCEPT the Sempron-Mini-ITX box I built for my back room. It only gets max 3Mb/s 99% of the time.
It has a gigabit port, I have tried cat5e and cat6 cable including physically moving the box to the same room and using the same cable and port that my desktop PC gets around 85Mb/s on....no luck. I've given it a direct line to the router and no luck either.
I have uninstalled and re-installed various drivers from the Asus mobo site and from Realtek's site directly and played around with every network setting I can think of.
Here's the weird thing: SOMETIMES I will see the speed test complete at 20Mb/s down but most of the time it won't go over 3Mb/s. The UPLOAD, however will often be faster than the download at 6-7Mb/s.
Windows reports the connection as 1.0 gigabit, I've set Speed and Duplex to force 1 gigabit full duplex. The only thing I can think of is either the NIC is bad or the CPU is just too slow to handle a faster connection.
