Unsure what has happened over the past month. I've noticed on my gaming PC the speeds I receive are much lower than what they used to be.

Specs:

Game PC:

i9-10900k
2080ti
Asus Z490-E Gaming Mobo
Windows 10 1909
Intel Ethernet Controller I225V

Stream PC:

i7-7700k
1080
Asus Prime H270
windows 10 1909

Both PCs have Cat6 cables. My Stream PC is receiving 900mbs download & upload speed. My Game PC is receiving 150-200mbs down & up.

I've tried updating drivers for the port Intel Ethernet Controller I225V. I've tried swapping cables, rebooting router & PC. I've done network resets in CMD along with enabling and disabling Windows auto-tuning, same outcome.

Any advice or tips would be great, kinda frustrating the better PC is causing an issue.

  • Why is the post tagged as "wireless-networking"? Have you tried another network adapter on the slower PC?

  • MB/s or Mbps? 1 MB/s = 8 Mbps.

  • Please don't respond using answers, they're for answers only. You can edit the question to improve it. Capitalization is essential, there's no such unit as MBPS. It's either MB/s (with uppercase B which stands for bytes) or Mbps (with lowercase b which stands for bits).

The motherboard on your gaming pc has some issues with it's Network Interface Card (NIC) > Intel® I225-V 2.5Gb Ethernet , known issues. I am facing the same problem too and did some researching a few weeks back.

A quick google search of the network card above shows a myriad of issues. Software fixes don't seem to be viable, such as installing/updating to the latest drivers.

You can try your luck with getting it swapped with ASUS by emailing them. Do remember to include your serial number to speed up the process, if need be.
