Line must remain active for 45 days. See vzw. Where possible, you should also select Run as administrator as this enables a wider range of scanning, analysis, and fixes.
Depending on your system configuration, you may have to enter your Windows account password. When ready, select Next. The scanning process will begin.
If you have multiple network adapters installed, the troubleshooter will ask you to specify which adapter to scan. Select your Ethernet connection, then Next. Next up, you should restart your router.
Similar to resetting your network connection, restarting your router will reset your internet connection coming into your home from your Internet Service Provider ISP , hopefully restoring your Ethernet speed in the process. There are several ways you can restart your router, but the easiest is to set the power switch to off, leave it for a few seconds, then switch it back on. Once the router comes back online and reconnects to your ISP, you should find your internet connection back up to proper operating speed.
Another consideration is router-based malware. If your device is connected directly to the router or switch, try using a different port to see if that speeds up your connection.
You can normally tell on a switch by looking at the lights on the back of the device. A slow Ethernet connection could indicate an issue with your computer, such as malware.
Some types of malware use a large number of network resources, effectively stealing bandwidth from the rest of the device. If this is the case, your other programs and network-dependent processes will run much slower as they struggle to compete with the malware. One of the best ways to scan your system quickly and effectively is with Malwarebytes , a free antimalware tool. Download and install Malwarebytes, then scan your system. If the malware scan returns any malicious files, select them all, then Delete.
After deleting the malicious files, restart your computer. Hopefully, you no longer have a slow Ethernet connection. Malwarebytes is a handy malware removal tool. Most of my tests have been conducted while connected to the NextLight fiber internet, however the problem is consistent while using either. On my laptop if I disable wireless and connect the same cable I was using with my desktop, the download speed is what it is supposed to be at about Mbps.
So the Ethernet cable itself seems to work perfectly fine. There are also a number of other computers on the router connected both via Ethernet and wireless, so the router and ISP do not appear to be the problem. Yesterday I installed a clean updated version of windows 10 on a brand new hard drive, which has had no impact on the problem at all.
I was having a hard time believing it though, upload is just as fast as it should be, my computer worked fine at the old house, and every other aspect of my machine is working great.
After googling it extensively I finally did find a temporary fix. When I run the program, set it to use "optimal" settings, and restart my computer my Ethernet connection starts working great again.
The problem is that it usually only lasts a couple of hours and then I lose all of my speed. This leads me to believe that the problem lies in the default driver settings on my OS, and some how they are getting changed back every so often. I did a little testing to try to figure out exactly what is going on.
If I leave my computer alone for about half a day after performing the fix computer may sleeps but does not turn off , things go back to how they were and the problem comes back. If I disconnect my Ethernet and plug it into my other router, the problem comes back immediately.
If I then plug it back into the router that was working, it no longer works and I need to do the fix again. If I run the optimizer I must restart before I get my speeds back, just running it alone does not fix it The optimizer does give a warning that some changes will only be active on a restart. Restarting my computer again after I have run the optimizer and restarted does not cause any problems and the fix is still working.
During all of my tests I have run the optimizer with admin permissions. When running the optimizer it gives a window telling you all of the settings it is changing. Looking through them, only three options are changed from what they are set at previously. Changing these seems to solve my problem entirely, but it doesn't last.
Is there some way I can change these permanently, or is there a different solution that wont stop working every few hours? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks! This thread is locked.
