help setting up gigabit LAN
my family just bought a new wifi router (NETGEAR N300 Wireless Gigabit Router) to replace our old one that kept loosing connections (Linksys Wifi-G, something old like that). everything works well but im having trouble setting up my PC to use its gigabit LAN function. My brother's PC automatically switched from100mb/s to 1gb/s when i plunged the new router in. My dad's work laptop also did this. however, my PC was unable to automatically switch to 1gb/s. i am still at 100mb/s. i have tried swapping ports on the router, restarting my PC, restarting the router, unplugging the CAT6 cable on the back of my PC, looking inside the router's page to see if i could change a setting, and reinstalling my mobo driver. i dont understand why im not getting the 1gb/s speeds seeing as everything says i should. My PC supports it, the router supports it, and the cable supports it.
Does anyone know what i can do to get 1gb/s speed through my network?
