BTU modem is usually supplied by your ISP. The BTU modem can also be one of the reasons your speed capped at 100 Mbps. An example of this would be the D-link DIR-615 (supports only up to 100 Mbps) vs DIR-895L (Gigabit router). You will need a Gigabit supported router for speed faster than 100 Mbps. Some would show 300 Mbps but the port is still capped at 100 Mbps. Some old routers, even those that were released few years back are still supporting only up to 10/100 Mbps. Router is among the most common reasons your internet speed is capped at 100 Mbps despite your ISP is actually giving you more. You can do a search of your adapter’s name on any search engine to look for the maximum speed it supports. If yours is not too old, it should support Gbps connection. Most PCIe or USB Ethernet adapters or the on-board built-in adapters in recent years usually support Gigabit connection. If your ISP is providing you with internet speed of faster than 100 Mbps, you may have to check on your Ethernet cable and make sure they are at least Cat5e cable (preferably Cat6) for Gigabit connection.
Cat5 cable supports only up to 100 Mbps, whereas a Cat5e cable can support up to 1 Gbps and Cat6 up to 10 Gbps.
The most common reason that the Ethernet status shows only 100 Mbps is that you are using a Cat5 or older Ethernet cable instead of the newer Cat5e or Cat6 cable. Modem Cat6 / Cat5e vs Cat5 / older cables.Here’s a list of hardware that will affect the internet speed. If either one of the hardware supports only up to 100 Mbps, your speed will be capped at 100 Mbps regardless of how fast and powerful your other hardware are (sometimes can be as slow as 10 Mbps if you have an antique hardware part). In other words, all of the mentioned hardware have to meet the requirement to support 1 Gbps bandwidth in order for your adapter to show and actually run on 1 Gbps. It will automatically adapt and change to the highest supported speed value based on the connected hardware, from your Ethernet LAN adapter, to the cable, the router and the BTU modem. As a matter of fact, you cannot change the value manually yourself.
Ethernet status says 1.0 gbps speed but im not getting that windows 10#
The speed value in the Ethernet status window in Windows 10 or any other version of Windows shows only the maximum speed your hardware can achieve.
