Getting 100mbps speed from 2.5gbe network card
Hi, I have a Windows 10 HP Pavilion 595-p0049. I am getting only 100mbps speed from my network card. I recently purchased a 2.5 gbe Realtek card it for my PC (already had a preinstalled 1gbe card, also from Realtek). The preinstalled card is getting 930mbps as tested on Speedtest, so my modem isn't an issue (I have a Cat6 cable). Both cards have their drivers updated to latest 2021 version from Realtek's website. I checked the Advanced family controller properties for the card, and there's a 2.5gbps Full Duplex option (however it's set to auto negotiation, as default).
The network card was attached to a PCIE x16 slot. I am currently out of options and I have looked up only, but nothing came up. I would be grateful to anybody who can help me with this.
Will attach screenshots below for troubleshooting assistance. I ran this command from powershelland got 1Gbps for Ethernet and 100mbps forCode:Get-NetAdapter | SELECT name, LinkSpeed, fullduplexCode:Ethernet 2
Please let me know if you need any further pics, help is much appreciated
