I have 1gig internet and seem to be struggling with speed to devices, some are getting 2-400mbps via wireless connection. I have my desktop connected via cat5e ethernet but can only seem to get 100mbps out of it. Can anyone help?

Thanks John, The cable is wired through the house as part of a renovation we did last year so is pretty much brand new, drivers are updated and card speed is correct.

Buy a cheap cable tester from Amazon, could save you a lot of trouble. Could be a bad plug or crossed wires. 1G Ethernet requires all four pairs in the cable, blue & blue/white + brown & brown/white + green & green white + orange & orange/white. 100M only requires two pairs green & green/white + orange & orange/white.

That would certainly be a good buy and do all the tests you need.
