I have a Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller - in the last few months I've had to disable it and enable a few times when my computer starts to get my speed at 100.00 Mbps - if it's not 100 it's only 10.

What could be wrong?

Can I replace this somehow?

Update driver, replace network cable.

Try another port on the switch/router that is connected to.

Opinions are my own and not the views of my employer.

Follow the cable from the computer to the other device it is connected to (router/switch generally) and try a different port on that device.

Oh right - It's connected into the wall (Ethernet) and I only have 1 port in the wall and my PC?

I could try another room I guess.

Why would it work once I disable and enable it again though?

could try that but also find the other end of the cable in the wall where it plugs into the router/switch, there must be one of those somewhere in the house. I'm guessing you have a structured wiring panel somewhere

One thing you could try is going to the Advanced tab under adapter properties and experiment with disabling options under TCP/IP Offload (could be called something slightly different in your driver).

I have had problems like yours and that was the solution.

Of course write down all the settings you change - before and after settings.
