Web Hosting Talk : Other Forums : Computers and Peripherals : Slow Speed over a Gigabit Network at Home?

[Deroba]

Hello WHT users,

I'm having this problem in my main PC which is Vista, the pc has a 1Gbit ethernet port. The Router(Linksys WRT610N) is also Gigabit, and finally, the Home Backup Ethernet Server/Harddrive is over Gigabit.

I can only reach 10MB/s as Max moving movies, music, files, anything, won't go over that speed.

What should I do?

Thanks in advance!

Does your "main PC" only have a 10MB/s NIC? or possibly a switch or router in between?

It's integrated in the Motherboard, but it's 1Gbit Port...

It's and Intel one, let me get the exact name

Edit: Intel 82566DC

Connection Status: Local Area 1,0 Gbps

My computers port and a lot of others are usually 100mbit or less.Although is it possible there is some sort of hard drive limitation? I get about 4mbps on the same line as you.

Mhe Windows Experience Index for Hard Drive is 5.8 which is good. Anything else that could cap it?

I'm willing to pay for help

I found a website where they mentioned to Disabled Windows Feature called "Remote Differential Compression", I was going to set NIC to 1000mbps Full Duplex, but that was already on, so it improved to 25-30 mBps, quite better now.

Still looking for ideas to use the full capacity of my network.

is your cable capable of doing gige?

[Deroba]

Yea, they all came with the PC/Hard Drive/Router, they are capable of pulling 80mBps between Linux and the Hard Drive...

One thing I have noticed with Cisco devices(Linksys is a Cisco brand now) is that if one end of the link is hard coded 1gbps and the other end is auto, it will step down to 10mbps half duplex.

I would check to make sure this is not the case. Also, check obvious, cabling, interference, etc

Make sure the frames setting is the same on your router as well as your nic cards (and printer and other network devices for that matter). I remember doing some Jumbo Frames settings awhile back when we switched over.

After prolonged use of the system, starting speed, running speed becomes very slow, we need to "Weight Loss" registry. Manually clean up the registry is a trivial matter, and very dangerous. Use registry software, you will not need to worry a lot. In a variety of registry cleaning software, but if you don't know which one to choose, here is suggestion: Five Best Registry Cleaner Software Reviews

I have done this before and generally it does not improve download speed or transfer speed.
