I have a Realtek RTL8168 PCIe gigabit ethernet NIC on board my Lanovo laptop (ThinkPad Edge E350). Windows 8 SP1 is running with latest driver from either Realtek or Lenovo. The Network and Sharing Center of Windows always showed the NIC at 100 Mbp. I have tried different CAT 5E or better cables and different 1Gb switches. I also tried to turn off the "Auto negotiation" property of "Speed and Duplex" in the Advanced tab of the device properties dialog. Nothing seemed to work. Is this a known problem in the RTL8168?

What model is your router? If your router is not capable of Gigabit speeds, it will not connect at that speed. If the router is combined with your cable or dsl modem and it is not capable of Gigabit speeds, it will not connect at that speed.
