I am having issues with slow network speeds in my home network between 2 boxes. Here are the specs:
Box1: ASRock H97 Performance, Manjaro
Box2: ASRock FM2A78M-ITX+, Debian 9
Switch: Netgear GS305v2
Both boxes are connected to the switch with Cat.7 (10m and 2m) cables. So everything should work with Gigabit Ethernet, right?
Yet running iperf gives this result:
[ ID] Interval Transfer Bitrate Retr
[ 5] 0.00-10.00 sec 105 MBytes 88.5 Mbits/sec 32 sender
[ 5] 0.00-10.00 sec 103 MBytes 86.6 Mbits/sec receiver
Where do I start looking for the problem?
Edit:
On one side I ran iperf3 -s
on the other iperf3 -c xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
.
I also testet file transfers via NFS and rsync over ssh, resulting in the same speed.
The output of ethtool
on the debian machine:

Looks like the Manjaro interface is setup for 100Mb/s only.
Enabling auto-negotiation for the network interface with ethtool -s enp0s25 autoneg on
fixed it.
Thank you for pointing me in the right direction!
