Hey Guys,

 

So about a month a go my network card on my mobo started running at 100Mbps, and before that it was running at 1Gbps, I tested the speed on my sisters PC and its the normal speed that should be happening.

 

I have reinstalled the network drivers, turned off QoS, removed and reinstalled the drivers and still nothing.  This has happened since I reinstalled windows.  Can I have some help please?

Open your network adapter properties from Device Manager.
Navigate to the Advanced tab and select Speed/duplex settings. Now set Value to 1 Gbps Full Duplex. You can also use Auto Negotiation option. After doing that, click OK to save changes.

The setting should not change after you reboot your system.

Did you install the software that may be included with network card driver.

 

Type devmgmt.msc into search box and run it as administrator.

Not sure why it didnt show up last time I did the test with my cable tester.
