I seem to have good luck here finding good network support on this forum so I am hoping to keep that going.
We recently upgraded our ISP plan to 500Mbs download. The modem only supports 400Mbs and this is good enough for now.
The issue that we're running into is that our media server only seems to be pulling 200-300Mbs when we test it from fast.com. Note that I was getting 200Mbs on 8 concurrent connections with fast.com. If I increase it to 16, this goes to 300Mbs, but no further settings seems to improve this. If I take the cable out of the server and plug it into a Surface Pro and test it via USB Network adapter, I get the full expected 400Mbs on fast.com -- on only 8 concurrent connections, go figure.
Note that the 200-300Mbs limit occurs on the network adapter built into the board on the media server and with a network card on one of its expansion slots.
The ports are reporting 1.0Gbps:
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
