Unable to get 1gbit/s

[edwinv]

I am unable to get a 1 Gbit/s connection with the X3D. It is connected to my ADSL modem (Fritz!box) with a CAT5E cable. The cable is not the problem because it will connect my PC at 1 gbit without problems.

Since it's only a modem, I'm not actually able to force anything. Is there something I can try from the X3D side?

Do  you mean it's connecting at 100 mbps, or do you think only transferring at 12-16 mb/s means a Gbit connection hasn't been made?

What's your Fritzbox model?

[edwinv]

Yes, it connects at 100 mbit/s (effective transfer at about 65 mbit/s).

IIRC the modem is a Fritz!Box 7360.

I can't get 1gb eoither connected to my Netgear switch - is there any way to force it?

[deibit]

I guess you already know.. but only the LAN1 and the LAN2 ports are Gigabit ethernet..

So you can only get Gigabit speeds if you connect the X3D to one of these ports and the other device it's connected as well to one of thiese ports...

What setting do you have in System->Energy Monitor ? make sure the energy saving feature is deactivated for all ports.

I guess you have the 1000X3D isnt it?

Thank you! Network speed settings in energy monitor. That's not where I would have expected them.

Only about a 40% speed increase, but every bit helps.
