Hello

so heres what happend. Two days ago i turned on my computer and had no internet, so then i removed my network driver because it was saying that my cabel was broken but i tested it on other computers and it was working fine. So i reinstalled w7 and then cleard cmos and instelled the network driver (i deleted it in device manger). Now i got internet but its really slow i had 15 mb download but now i got 3 mb download .-. and i have tested the cabel on another computer, agin works fine. So other things i have tryid is restoring my router to default etc, so there is nothing wrong with my router but some software. another thing i noticed was that i used to be on local area but now i am on local area 2(intel(R) 82579v gigabyte).
this is on a asus rampage iv black editon
and with the local area it says the cabel is broken but with local area 2 it works
 
It made local area 2 because you deleted the network/drivers and made a new one, that is nothing to be alarmed over, just use the 2nd one now.

If you have wiped windows and have restored router to factory, and another pc uses the same router port/cable just fine then the issue is with your network adapter on your motherboard.
