In Windows Task Manager, Networking tab, it shows 2 connections:
* Local Area Connection (1 Gbps and no activity)
* Local Area Connection (100 Mbps and some activity)
I subscribe to Brighthouse Lightning 60, which is supposed to provide download speeds of 60 Mbps download and 15 Mbps upload. My internet speed seems, surprisingly lackluster, though, with slow browser draws.
I have a Dell Precision running WinXP, connected via Cat 5e ethernet, to a 1 Gig Cisco router and Brighthouse's Cable modem that's supposed to support speeds up to their 90 Mbps speeds.
Is there a network setting that allows me to turn off the 100 Mbps connection and turn on the 1 Gbps connection?
