100meg on Gigabit setup...
A strange one, but maybe someone has an idea as to what's going on here...
So; Gigabit network setup; Modem, router, switch, cabling of Cat6 standard.
Just recently my main PC has been getting auto-negotiated at 100 full duplex. It's always been gigabit previously (and annoyingly you can never force gig duplex on a NIC card).
Reinstalled/uninstalled drivers and swapped ethernet leads - But to no avail. Seems bizarre that the NIC card would suddenly only work in a lower speed. I've tested the switch port with other gig devices and it's fine. I even ran a straight run of ethernet from PC to main router, bypassing switches.
Anyone seen this occur before, any ideas for a fix? I almost suspect Windows 10, as it's been updating recently!
Killer E2200 NIC/AC87u/GS116E If it matters.
Tom

Re: 100meg on Gigabit setup...
If anyone was curious - A new PCI card proved that the onboard NIC was indeed faulty!
...No idea why, but the pci card shows 1gig and the onboard - 100meg!
Certainly not an issue I've seen before, but maybe of interest to someone in the future!

annoying and good to know you have fixed it in a round about way. I know I am petty but it is killing me:

Re: 100meg on Gigabit setup...
tbf, NIC can also stand for Network Interface Controller...
And people also say "ATM machine", "AC current", "DAT tape", "LCD display", "PIN number", "DC comics", etc. etc.
