Hi,

I have two pc's and a ps3 connected via a Sitecom Wireless Gigabit Router 300N-XR.

All my cabling is cat6 and all nic's are gigabit capable.

Both PC's are set to 1.0gbps full duplex (rather than auto) but on both PC's I cannot get either of them to connect at 1.0 gbps. When I check the connection status it's 100 mbps.

Tried restarting router, upgrading it's firmware. I would try other drivers by both my NIC's are off ebay and aren't that well known, but like i say I can select 1.0 gbps full duplex so the drivers seem ok.

One of the pcs is my media server and copying files to it is painfully slow at 100mbps.

Running Windows 7 x64.

Anyone got any ideas what might be going on?

Thanks,

pk
