Hello!
I've recently upgraded my router so that it now supports 1Gbs transfer speeds. However my ether port I218-V on a motherboard (Z97-pro) doesn't want to connect with the home network in full duplex 1Gbs. It auto negotiates on 100mbs full duplex, and if forced in 1gbs it just stops working ( says its unpluged). I've tried handful of different cables, updated and reinstalled drivers, tried forced modes and so on, but nothing seems to work (also tested this with another computer and it got full connection). What seems to be the problem is that driver wrongly assumes length of the cable. In diagnostics mode, on first connection tab I always get error:
"Cable Link Status : Failed
This device requires a restart."
And in the next tab which diagnoses the cable it weirdly amuses that the cable is 255meters long.
"Cable Length Status : Passed
Cable Length: 255 meters"
I think that these wrong diagnostics make driver refuse to connect in full duplex 1gbs speed and that it goes for 100mbs. Is there any known solution to this or something I could do or is it just a defect. I would immensely appreciate any heko. I can provide further information if needed.
Thanks for help
