EDIT: seems to be working now. I have no idea why.
I have 15m of CAT6 running from the router to my PC, but am only getting 1Mbps on speedtest.
What works as it should 100Mbps
Router > 15m Cat6 > Netgear 10/1000 switch> 30cm of Cat5e > PC
What doesn't (well, does but gives 1.5Mbps)
Router > 15m Cat6 > new Dlink Gigabit switch> 30cm of Cat5e > PC
Router > 15m Cat6 > PC
Any idea what's going on here? It's only come to my attention because I have bought a new gigabit switch, and only get 1Mbps on it. So plugged the Cat6 directly into the PC and wouldn't you know it, also only 1Mbps.
Any ideas?
(the reason I have the switch is for networking with another PC I sometimes use for work)
