Thread: 100 mbps lan showing 10 mbps only

Hi all,
I have a home network with 2 computers. I get my internet connection(256 kbps unlimited pan )using a UTStarcom TYPE 4 dsl router from bsnl. I connected both systems to the router. In one system i get 100 mbps connection and the net speed is good(around 25-30 kbps). But in the second one i am getting only 10 mbps lan speed and net speed is very low(around 2 to 3 kbps). I have a realtech gigabit on board NIC in my 2nd system. My mother board is asus p5kpl am/ps.The first system is connected using a 3 meter cable and 2nd one using a 17 meter cable. I tried solving the issue by all methods i know like changing the NIC config parameters to override the autonegotiation to 100 mbps full duplex etc but still the problem persists.
I am experiencing a heavy drop in internet speed in 2nd system due to this problem. I had a notion like "my net connection is only 256 kbps so 10mbps would be good.". But the problem is that both lan speed and net speed is very low.What can be the problem? Please give me a solution.

Dont use windows update.
after windows update present the newer
driver 8111 fail to work 100mb in half and full duplex,
but still work in 10 and 1gb. uninstall drivers
and no probz (same probz on xp and win7, dont know about vista)

thanks essbebe for the reply. I have already reinstalled XP to solve the issue but failed. Also tried win 7. And i have used the nic driver which came with my mother board replacing the default os one.But still no use.

the onboard NIC is realtek . go the company's web site
and select the upgraded version for your OS.
mention the card details here.
Or you can use the option .
Compatible mode with XP or win98 etc.

Since the card is working at 10 Mbps
only driver/s change may help.

Completely uninstall the drivers.
then try again.

Hey tht solved my problem.. thank u so much.... The driver which came with my motherboard was older version..... i got a new update one from realtek site and it working fine now.....Thanks again...

If the router is connected to computer through LAN card you get 100 mbps speed. But if you connect router to computer through USB you get 10mbps or 12 mbps speed. This speed is between your Computer and router and not between your router and isp server ( or internet ).

from Post No 1.

Probably WA3002-G4 Adsl modem/ 4 lan router/Wifi

I connected both systems to the router. In one system i get 100 mbps connection and the net speed is good(around 25-30 kbps). But in the second one i am getting only 10 mbps lan speed and net speed is very low(around 2 to 3 kbps

Probably he connected to LAN ports or one system
had different ethernet card. or wireless lan card.

whether i WA3002-G4 has a USB Port to be confirmed .
