Hello,
I purchased a desktop from HP (HP ENVY 750-210ms) (Product #: T4A21AA#ABA). The description features said it had a gigabyte network card. When I view the details of the card in the system it shows only 100mbps. Is this a software driven card, or do I need to upgrade the card to a gigabyte? IN the device manager, it shows the card as a Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller.
Thank you for any help, JR

Yes, it is a Realtek 1G card
- Technology: Realtek RTL8161
- Data transfer speeds: up to 10/100/1000 Mb/s
- Transmission standards: 1000BASE-T Ethernet
How do you connect it now ? To a switch or router ? Do you know the speed of switch ports ? Which cable do you use ? Please try CAT5e or CAT6 cable.
Regards.
