    hello all,

    i have a dell precision 490 with a broadcom netxtreme 57XX gigabit controller (per device manager)
    i have a comcast gigabit router (tg852g) using all cat 6 cabling

    my issue is i can not get the broadcom to reach 1gbps.
    it used to be running at it but now its 100 full

    i have done everything that i know of being changing cables, to device manager advanced (speed) for the nic, to updating/rollback drivers.



    thoughts? suggestions?

    Hi

    You never will as most networks are not 1GB they tend to be 100mb at best. I have GB networking hardware and my network and internet are 100mb network and my internet is limited to my providers speed for my area at 3mb/s
