Hello,
I have issue with ethernet speed on my macbook pro M1.
Its connected through usb-c dock station.
I should be getting around 100mbit
When i do speedtest on windows pc its around 90-100
When I do the same test on my macbook pro, speeds are 15-25mbit.
Can someone help me troubleshoot this?
MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 13.2
I turn VPN only when i struck on website i cant access. Mainly I started using VPN like last week. Slow speed issues iam seeing in last 5-6 month (software updated). I can somehow work with 20-30mbits but full speed is better.
The settings look normal.
The only thing unusual is the DNS. You have an address starting with 193 as your main DNS server, then Google’s 8.8.8.8 and finally your router.
I suggest you make a note of these addresses, and then clear this pane by selecting each and pressing “-“.
When all are deleted, you should just see the address that is set automatically by your router (in grey).
See how it works then.
Which dock exactly?
With the dock and ethernet cable connected, go to System Settings->Network, select Ethernet and tell us or show us what you see there - under Hardware, TCP/IP, DNS and Proxies.
Its HP USB-C Dock G5 (rmn hsn ix02)
Only thing i tried there was in Hardware Speed (when i changed from 1000baseT to auto) i got 10mbits more. MTU max is 1500 (no jumbo or something like that)
In addition to Luis' input, check if you have a VPN and what location it's using. VPN's can dramatically reduce bandwidth speed based on VPN location that is selected.
