I just put a new system together with a asrock z270 motherboard. this nic seems to be capped at 9.7 Mbps. I should be downloading at 25. I plugged the ethernet cable into my laptop and its fine, so I know its not the cable/modem/router. I used the drivers win10 installed, I tried the drivers from the asrock site, and I let windows pick a newer driver as well from device manager. I also ran the intel driver update utility and installed a newer driver with that. still no change. I've looked at the performance tab of task manager and nothing is using the eithernet, receive sits at 0. then when I do a speed test or download from steam it only goes up to 9.7 Mbps. in steam I usually download at 3 MB/s and its only downloading at 1.2
the upload speed however is about what it should be. when windows boots, the ethernet takes forever to connect. steam opens and can't get a internet connection because the driver or whatever hasn't booted the nic up in time.
