New NIC works at 100Mbps - drops internet connection at 1000gbps

Intel L210 Gigabit Connection. So industry standard. Have one in this PC and it works just fine.

You sure about that? 600mbps is the spec? And it doesn't connect at all.

600 =/= 1000.

That is why you get no internet when you set it to 1gig.

That is why it chooses 100 when on auto negotiate.

There is no "in between" in the spec for 10/100/1000 internet.

If your powerline adapters are supposed to be gigabit, they arent.
If these are your adapters:

This is the info on the powerline adapters:

• HomePlug AV2 standard compliant*
• 2X2 MIMO with Beamforming establishes multiple simultaneous connections for you to enjoy higher powerline speeds and greater stability
• 2 gigabit ports create secure wired networks for desktops, smart TVs or games consoles
• Integrated power socket ensures no power outlet goes to waste
• Plug and play, no configuration required
• Patented Power-Saving Mode automatically reduces power consumption by up to 85%**

Why in the world does it have MIMO with beamforming? Is it a powerline adapter or a wifi adapter?

Eiter way, see above that for why it only is working on 100 and not 1000

I gig powerline adapters arriving today. Should sort it - thanks!
