Hello, I'm trying to create 1000mbps LAN. I'm using (TPLINK TG 3269C) 1000BaseTX NIC cards and switch is Dlink DGS 1008D model. But this switch supports 1000BaseT ethernet and when I connect them it's only getting 100mbps speed. Is it happening from difference of Gigabit ethernet model? I mean 1000BaseT and 1000BaseTX ???
Answer:
Check your cable. You need Cat5e or Cat6 cable and connectors to be 1000Mbps speed. That may be your issue here.
BTW there are no two models like T & TX. Both are the same.
Check to see if your NIC card is set to Auto sense Mode. Open your Network Connections, right click on your LAN connection, and select properties.
Click on "configure" button on general tab.
Select "Advanced" tab and click on speed & duplex. It should show "auto". If it doesn't then select auto.
If the setting was already on "Auto" then select the "1000" for the card and try.
Similarly login to your switch and check the port settings. First set with Auto and try. Otherwise set 1000Mbps speed and then try.
Ensure you select the correct duplex settings at both ends when setting the speeds manually (both NIC and switch port are either full duplex or half duplex).
Let me know if this still doesn't solve your issue.
Answer:
Thank you for selecting as best answer.
If none of the above suggestions solve ur problem, the only other thing I can think of is the NIC driver. Have u tried updating the network driver? Report It
Answer:
Are you using Cat5e cable? if so, then you need to upgrade to Cat6. Although Cat5e will reach near gigabit speed, it can not be certified to claim gigabit speeds. It sounds like the crippling factor here would be your cabling if you are using anything less that Cat6 cabling.
Good luck!
