Hello, guys i need ur help. Ok so recently my DELL PRECISION T7400 has been upgraded and now its my main pc and i moved all of my setup to a different room so i had to use a new cable.
So my TV internet cable was 20meters long so i just hooked my old 10meter cable to the tv and nnow im using that 20meter cable on my PC. So the problem is that i only have 1mb/s download speed and all that... On my old pc i used a different cable and that motherboard was made in like 2015 and it said in ethernet status that i can have max 100.0Mbps speed and now on this other PC i only can have max 10.0Mbps. So one question... What is the problem here? should i buy a new cable or should i just buy a new network card to put in the motherboard? My data plan is like 100MBps=12Mbps Megabit, megabyte... that stuff...

Unless you have been messing with the interface properties, it sounds like it's the cable. Good news a new cable is fairly inexpensive and it's always nice to have a spare around. You can also try a different port in your router and see if that changes anything. Let us know.
