How to set ethernet speed from 100 to 1000 asus P5KPL/1600

I have an asus P5KPL/1600 MB and i am currently have 100mps connection i reasently installed a whole new network with a new modem at 1Gbps speed with a router that supports it apparently i am using the standard CAT cable so any way if anyone could suggest away to do this like Router settings or MB bios settings or something any help would be greatly appreciated thank you all in advance.

> i am using the standard CAT cable

Also, the cable to insert in your GbE port -- whether on-board
or add-on controller -- needs to be at least CAT-5e or better.

The cable between your modem and your router can be
CAT-5, because that connection is slower.

We like to add a Gigabit switch in between the router
and the workstations: this allows the workstations
to communicate directly with each other through that switch
without needing to use the router.

With this scheme, all workstations are wired directly
to the Gigabit switch, and the only devices connected
directly to the router are the modem and that Gigabit switch.

Then, whenever a workstation needs to access the Internet,
the switch sends packets to the router, which in turn
passes then to the modem, and vice versa.

This setup works beautifully for us:
GbE for local LAN traffic;
12-16 MB/sec. for Internet access.

> MB bios settings

I looked at your motherboard User Manual,
under BIOS | Advanced tab:

The only options there are:

Onboard PCIE GbE LAN: [enabled/disabled]

LAN Option ROM: [enabled/disabled]

Unless you really know what you're doing,
I would stay away from the Option ROM:

speed settings can usually be done
from Control Panel | Network Connections
as described above.

GOOD LUCK!

Its all auto - if its not at GBe speeds you dont have the cables or switch to do it etc

Yes but i am not completly sure that my router supports the following 1Gbps because when i put in the Cat 5 cable inside the pc direclty modem>pc it does change to 1gbps but if it goes through the router it does not and i poked around the settings and did change my own Pc's settings to 1 gigabit but still no change as long as it goes through the router perhaps i need faster one but the thing is that on the third pc i have it has wireless internet which goes through the same router and it has the required speed which is indeed faster then whatever i am getting.
