Motherboard - Tuf Gaming X570-Plus WiFi
CPU - Ryzen 3700X
Cable - Cat8
Adapter - Realtek USB 2.5GbE family controller
Onboard ethernet port is limited to 1Gbps and I presumed that I would be able to achieve my providers 2Gbps speed using the Realtek adapter however I still get only slightly over 1Gbps through speedtest (1048 max). Is the Realtek adapter being limited by my motherboards speeds?
I've updated the Realtek adapters drivers, I've checked that speed and duplex is set to 2.5Gbps Full Duplex in the device settings but the speed remains the same. I have tested the same adapter on my laptop and the speedtest on there and get around 1900Mbps.
Anything else I could check or do I need to buy a network card to bypass the motherboard speed limit?
