10 and 100Mb links only use 2 of the cable pairs (4 wires). It's failing to establish a 1Gb connection, which is different. The BIOS isn't "detecting" a bad connection. This is normal and typical behavior for Gb Ethernet networks. You would only choose 100 Mb or 10 Mb if you would need to force the connection to a slower speed. The BIOS settings are only showing 10 and 100 Mb because the DEFAULT is 1Gb. There is no 1 Gbps setting in the BIOS at all, and I don't think BIOS are smart enough to detect bad contact with the cable. No I'm pretty sure a bent pin isn't the case here, since the BIOS settings clearly indicate 10 and 100 Mbps settings, and Auto. I feel like it's a hardware issue (cables, switch, or router?), but I just can't be certain since using a USB ethernet adaptor immediately shows that we can get 1Gbps connection on the same cable. I've witnessed miracles happen before when you just unplug and replug cables.

I'll just jumble them around and see if that does anything. It's a plain 5-port switch, 3 are output and 1 is input. One thing I didn't think to try is just moving the cables around on the switch that it's plugged into.

Windows 10 ISO image) from another computer on the wired network copies over at ~100MB/s, which implies that the rest of the network is working fine at 1Gbps speeds. Tested all of the cables before installing them.Īs well, as I mentioned before, I can simply plug the same network cable that normally goes into NUC directly into my own USB ethernet adapter and immediately get 1Gbps connection. I laid the Cat5e cable myself, and it's all from the same spool. Yup, all of the cables are Cat5e the switch that the computer goes through is good for 1GigE, and the router also has GigE ports. Is the hub/switch they're attached to a 1GB device? I never knew it had settings in the BIOS to even mess with, but its set to Auto and has worked flawlessly as a Proxmox host for a number of years. To be honest, we never noticed this issue until now, when my dad has been trying to copy files over the network and getting speeds at like 10 MB/s. Wireless isn't really a great solution here because of the location of the router and NUC, usually gets stuck at < 150 Mbps reported speeds in Windows (and it's as slow as that) And we've already swapped out the cable with another Cat5e just to be sure. I don't believe it's a router or cabling issue, because I can use my own USB ethernet adapter with the same cable and get 1 Gbps connection to other computers on their network. Is there something that would cause a BIOS to limit the speed of the NIC like that? Neither have changed the way the BIOS only detects 10/100 Mbps Half/Full Duplex settings. I've also updated the BIOS to the latest available version for this NUC.

I've updated the ethernet adapter with the latest "legacy" driver update available through the Intel Download Centre website. Setting the Windows configuration to 1 Gbps causes the network adapter to report being "Disconnected" any other setting (10/100/Auto) works just fine.

The Advanced tab in Windows for the network adaptor says the card is able to support 1.0 Gbps Full Duplex, whereas the BIOS shows only 10/100 Mbps options. The NIC itself is supposed to support 1 Gbps ( Intel I218-V). The simple description for the problem is that the NIC is stuck in 100 Mbps.

It's not the router or my setup it was perfectly fine on my Maximus Z390 Hero but this new Z690 board is forever dropping the link speed, And I know it's the adaptor or drivers because as I said once you disable it and re enable it boom back to 1gbs if it was any other hardware issue like the router or modem this would not work.Īsus is this link dropping speed being investigate? This particular adaptor after research online is notorious for issues looking around on Google.I'm helping my parents with an interesting issue on their Intel NUC (model: NUC5i5RYK). Check your Link speed I am having an issue even since getting this Strix Z690 A Gaming board my link speed keeps dropping to 100 Mbs instead of 1gbs crippling my connection, I don't know what Intel or Asus is doing but it is doing it frequently, If I disable the Intel network adaptor in device manager and re enable back to 1gb's negotiation, I am using the latest drivers and it has been doing this since day 1 of getting this board and whatever Intel adaptor is embedded, How had this not been more widely reported? It's a pain in the ass, If it had already negotiated the 1gbs speed when you first connect why is it dropping after a while?
