Product: HP ZBook Power 16 inch G11 Mobile Workstation PC (9A671AV)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

Ethernet connection on my ZBook Power is very slow. For example: download speed over Wifi: 25 MB/s, over Ethernet: 2 MB/s in the same network. Tested with old laptop with the same ethernet cable: 60 MB/s.

 

Network adapter: Intel Ethernet Connection (18) I219-V

Driver version: 12.19.2.61

Operating system: Windows 11 Pro 24H2

 

I tried to reinstall drivers (with older one, included with Windows and drivers from Intel web page), but without success. The download speed barely reaches 2 MB/s. I have also tried to change some adapter properties, but also without success.

Since speeds through WiFi adapter are normal, I assume the problem is in ethernet adapter (not in os). Any idea, what's wrong with ethernet adapter? Or maybe some driver setting?

I installed the latest driver from Intel website (20.0.2.19 (26.6.2024)). Unfortunately, there is no improvement in download speed. Still very slow...
