Hi,
I've been having this problem for a while and I've finally decided to ask for help.
Sometimes, randomly, when I turn on my pc, the connection takes a while to be recognized by the PC itself (about 10-15sec, while it's usually instantaneous) and then shows up in the network card as aa 100mbit connection, while it should be a 1gbps one (even though I'm limited to 300mbps). As I said, this happened for a while, 5 times already I'd say, and it's not the cable because I switched it and tried that same cable on my macbook pro and it worked just fine going at 293mbit on speedtest.
I reinstalled Windows, rebooted the router, restarted the system several times, but the only way to fix this is apparently to unplug the cable and keep plugging it in again until it gets recognized as a 1gbps connection (may take from 1 to 10 tries); at this point, the actual speed though drops to like 10mbps, so I need to restart my PC. Then everything works fine for another 10 days or so, until the problem appears once again. I don't know if it's a software or a hardware problem, my PC is pretty powerful and the components are decent anyway, my Mobo is an ASUS Maximus VII Ranger, so it fully supports gigabit connection etc.
Anyone have any idea???
Thanks
