Hello All,
Looking for any tips or advice. I have an ASRock Z77 Extreme4 LGA 1155 Intel Z77, with Windows 10 Home 64bit. I have confirmed on NewEgg that it is the Broadcom BCM57781 chipset, as shown below.
My mobo network card won't do Gigabit ethernet. I didn't notice until now because my old router only did 10/100. Just yesterday I upgraded to a new router that is all 10/100/1000. I can see in the router it is auto negotiating to 100Mbps full duplex. Other LAN ports are all operating at full Gigabit.
My first thought was cable issue, but since I was sitting at the PC I popped open Windows Device Manager and looked at the advanced properties of the card. On the Speed options it shows 10 half and full, 100 half and full, and auto negotiate as shown below.
I am pretty sure that even if the router and cable couldn't do Gigabit it would still show up as an option here to force 1Gbps, even if it wouldn't work. Just to be sure I disconnected the ethernet cable and looked again, same options. I tried other ports on the router as well that work as Gigabit for other devices as well. Same thing.
Here is the driver I have:
As far as I can tell on the ASRock site, this is the latest driver. I couldn't find anything newer on the Broadcom site but I am not confident that I looked properly. The driver is listed for Windows 8.1 on ASRock and there is no newer version for Win10 shown. Is there a newer driver? Does this chipset just not support Gigabit on Windows 10??
Thanks!
