Re: [PLUG] How to diagnose poor Ethernet throughput with Mint


I had trouble with speed on an Ethernet connection once.  it turned out that several pairs on the CAT-5 cable were bad.  It still worked, but slowly.  I was able to visually see the problem (bad injection molding of the plug), but you may need a cable tester to be sure.

I'm running Linux Mint on most of my computers.  I've just had an Ethernet wire run from one of my workstations to my router.  I'm only getting 100 Mb/s throughput as per the system tools, even though all of my hardware is gigabit.  I know how to diagnose this in Windows, but no idea where to begin in Mint.  How can I figure out where the problem is?


Thanks, Frank
