Gigabit speeds hh5

[smf22]

@yan101 said "Best i can get is 11MB/s which suggests its only doing 100mbps"

What do you see as the port speed as indicated by the hub? From the hub (http://192.168.1.254) go to Advanced Settings -> Home Network -> Devices and you'll see the speed indicated under the Wired Connections section immediately under the graphic of the hub.

Also the GS105 has two LEDs per port, with only the left hand one being lit if the port is operating at 100 Mbps or both being lit if running at 1000 Mbps. How many do you see lit?

Have you tried different ports on the hub and different ports on the Netgear switches?

Hub is showing 1gbps. Both lights on both switches show 1gbps ( 2 lights lit) tried different ports yea.

[yan101]

Also showing 1gbps in network settings on both pc's

[smf22]

That would suggest the ports are running at 1 Gbps to me 

Where do you see the 11MB/s?

Can you download a program called iperf (https://iperf.fr/iperf-download.php#windows) and test with that? You run it from the command line with one PC as the receiver and the other as the sender. The receiver you enter iperf3 -s, and on the sender you enter iperf3 -c <ip_addr_of_receiver>.

Here's an example of the results you should see:

Hmm. Well either the Home Hub (HH) or the Netgear switch is lying.

Can you reconnect the PCs, first both to the HH and then both to the Netgear switch, and check each time whether you get GE speeds.

Im just in the process of changing the network card in the pc upstairs. Its a qualcomm atheros and there arent any windows 10 drivers for it. So im wondering if thats the issue. Ill change the card and call the cables. If that dosent work then ill do as you said.

[yan101 · Accepted solution]

It was the ethernet adapter in the pc. No driver for windows 10. So it showed as 1gbps but wasnt working. Got a new one and its working.
