I have a refurb elitedesk 800g2. Works fine, except speedtest shows a 100 mb download speed and my computer on the other desk, ( a pavillion) dawnloads at 430mb. same router same switch. This has to be something simple. Help!

Hi:
The only suggestion I can offer, would be to try a CAT 6 cable from your router's ethernet port to the PC.
The Intel® Ethernet Connection I219LM adapter is a gigabit ethernet device.
You can check to see what the actual connection speed is by going to the Windows control panel>Network and Internet>Network and Sharing Center, click on the ethernet connection listed under the View your active networks section.
Should be 1 GB/S. If it is only 100 MB/S, then try a CAT 6 cable.

changed cable to known good cat-6 cable with no improvement in speed.
I did notice my switch led is a different color with this computer and upon checking
the switch manual, I found that the switch thinks the computer net card is 100mb.
I am still thinking the internal net card has ben throttled back.
Also: wi-fi is slow on tyhe 800g2as well. Wi-fi is a little plug in usb plug.
