    Hi All.

    Bit of an issue with the 3925.

    I've got wireless on and connecting at 90meg on a 100meg line, happy days.
    However When I disable the wireless and hook the computer directly into the modem via the Ethernet cable my speeds drop to 10meg.

    Any suggestions as to why this is.

    The ethernet port is flashing orange on the modem.

    Running windows 7

    Using Realtek RTL8168C(P)/8111C(P) Family PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC (NDIS 6.20)

    Okay, the plot thickens.

    I've since realised that the NIC only goes to speeds of 10Mbps, this can't be right cause I was connecting last week at 30mbps.....
    I've tried updating the drivers but when i do i get a network cable unplugged

    Okay, very weird, so my realtek drivers were showing up at 10mbps after installing a wireless card.

    i updated the realtek driver but it kept saying network cable unplugged.

    I unplugged cable from pc, turned computer off, waited 30 mins, restarted pc, installed cable to computer and hey presto it works and im back to 1gig lan.
