I ran Cat5e throughout my house and punched it down in little wiring closet all nice and neat. Since I ran cable for a bout year or so, I figured I knew most of the basics, so when my benchmark only ran at 10 MBp/s, (That is Megabytes) I was frustrated. I mean the LAN Status shows it is connected at 100 Mbps!
Assuming basic math has not failed me, 100 / 8 = 12.5. (100 Megabits / 8 bits in a byte). So, shouldn?t my network run at 12.5 MBp/s at its fastest? Below is a list of things I have checked:
1: Punch down keeps the wire twist all the way up to the end.
2: Cables are not too long
3: Patch cables are not too short (thanks to a thread in this forum).
4: NIC speeds are set to Auto ? when I set them to 100/full, it seems to get buggy.
I even brought my File Server (just an old Dell) up to my office and hooked my main pc and it together with to 10? Cat 6 Patch cords and still only topped out at 10 MpB/s. Then when I set the NIC cards to 100/full, it seemed buggy again? so I don?t think it is my cable job.
Any suggestions?
