New Mac Mini Slow Internet through Ethernet

Hey Guys

I have a new i5 Mac Mini and has been working fine but i keep having ethernet problems this is the 2nd time its happened now but my internet speed just drops from 22mb to 3.5mb.

First time it done it i thought i was the cable so swapped them over and it worked fine and now its doing it again.

WiFi is fine as you can see



But when connecting via ether net



Ive checked the ethernet network settings and for some reason its at 10mbps and if you change it to 100/1000mbps it says cable is not connected. I'm using a CaT5e cable.

Help

So a single cable runs all the way from your Mini to the modem or do you have other devices in-between?

How long is the cable?

that's kinda weird your upload time is pretty much the same! Have you tried a different port and cable?

the first time it done it a few weeks ago i changed the cable and fixed it but now its doing it again the problem must be else where.

Call your ISP provider and they may do a test at their end to trouble shoot.

Good luck

It is just the Mac Mini, Everything else connects fine. PC, Laptop, Xbox connects at 100/1000mbps but Mac Mini only 10mbps

I left the Ethernet unplugged for a while plugged it back in and it went back to 1000Mbps and the speed went back up.




I still don't understand why it is doing it and not on my other computers including MacBook Pro.
