YuanLey Budget Unmanaged Switches. Better than expected. Initial overview, specs, and my thoughts.

Really odd, just put in the 2.5 9 port switch into my rack, and my PC shows only 1 gig lan connection, yet my nic is 2.5 on my motherboard. Also when doing a speed test I get around 150mbps, yet when I go back to my old 1 gig switch and run a speedtest i get the full 940mbps download, now my friend wired my internet connection straight to a patch panel, why I dont know, so I am tempted to pull this out from the patch panel and put a RJ45 plug onto and then put this cable which is plugged into my routers 2.5gb port and see if this makes any difference. And another test would be for me to bring down my 2.5gb switch and plug the network cable between my PC nic (2.5) and the switch (2.5) hopefully my pc will then hopefully report that the nic is connected at 2.5, as opposed to 1 gig. Great video as my switch only arrived yesterday and its the same as your 9 port 2.5 switch, so I am hoping its not the switch .

@@devonguyA38-007 I had issues with my ROG board randomly negotiating at gigabit with both the YangLee and TP-Link with cheaper Amazon Cat5e and supposed Cat6. Even has issues on TP gigabit switches negotiation at 100 megabit with the same cheap cables. So you could have a weird cable issue on pin 8, or Driver issues as well. If you have a Reatatec 2.g NIC the windows drivers suck and I'd recommend downloading reatek universal multi-gig driver pack for their NICs. If it's being picky with a cable you, can unplug it and plug it back in and then it sometimes randomly negotiates at gigabit and 2.5. however, the only time I ever had the weird transfer speed issues like you're describing was a Windows driver issue.
