在现代世界中，没有什么比慢速以太网(Ethernet)连接更令人恼火的了。我们的很多工作和娱乐都需要稳定且快速的互联网连接，因此当您的以太网(Ethernet)连接速度变慢时，挫败感就会上升。
您不必坐在那里等待它重新开始工作。通过这六个修复慢速以太网(Ethernet)连接的方法，您可以自行解决问题。
但是，在开始之前，您应该确定它是只有您的设备连接速度较慢还是整个网络。以下修复仅适用于您的设备速度较慢，但其他连接以太网的设备连接速度较快的情况。
如果所有连接的设备都很慢，则问题出在您的路由器或您的ISP上。尝试重置您的路由器(resetting your router)或给您的 ISP 打电话。
最后，查看我们的 YouTube 视频，其中介绍了一些其他可能导致网速变慢的原因以及一些尝试修复的方法：
1.重启你的电脑
您是否尝试过关闭并重新打开计算机？这是一个简单的修复，您会听到很多。但原因是重新启动计算机可以解决很多问题。因此，在深入研究更复杂的修复之前总是值得尝试。
2.重新启动您的网络适配器
最简单和最快的修复方法之一是重置您的网络适配器。有时，您的适配器会出现故障并拒绝与传入的以太网(Ethernet)连接很好地配合。
按Windows Key + I，然后前往Network & Internet。在更改您的网络设置下(Change your network settings)，选择更改适配器选项。(Change adapter options.)
右键单击您的以太网(Ethernet)连接，然后选择禁用(Disable)。稍等(Wait)片刻，然后右键单击并选择启用(Enable)。您的以太网连接现在应该恢复正常速度。
3.使用网络适配器疑难解答(Network Adapter Troubleshooter)
Windows 包括一个集成的网络适配器疑难解答(Network Adapter Troubleshooter)程序。疑难解答程序会扫描并尝试修复与您的网络适配器相关的多个问题，例如“Windows 无法连接到此网络”错误(the “Windows can’t connect to this network” error)。
在您的开始菜单(Start Menu)搜索栏中输入网络适配器并选择(network adapter)最佳匹配(Best Match)。出现疑难解答时，选择Advanced > Apply repairs automatically。
如果可能，您还应该选择以管理员(Run as administrator)身份运行，因为这样可以进行更广泛的扫描、分析和修复。根据您的系统配置，您可能需要输入您的Windows帐户密码。
准备就绪后，选择Next。扫描过程将开始。如果您安装了多个网络适配器，故障排除程序将要求您指定要扫描的适配器。选择您的以太网(Ethernet)连接，然后选择Next。
疑难解答程序将扫描您的网络适配器是否存在任何问题，然后提出相关修复建议。
4.重启你的路由器
接下来，您应该重新启动路由器。与重置网络连接类似，重新启动路由器将重置从Internet 服务提供商(Internet Service Provider)( ISP )进入您家的 Internet 连接，希望在此过程中恢复您的以太网(Ethernet)速度。
有几种方法可以重新启动路由器，但最简单的方法是将电源开关设置为关闭，等待几秒钟，然后重新打开。如果您的路由器没有开关，请拔下电源插头，等待几秒钟，然后将其重新插入。一旦路由器重新联机并重新连接到您的ISP，您应该会发现您的互联网连接恢复正常运行速度。
另一个考虑因素是基于路由器的恶意软件。这可能很少见，但这是检查路由器是否存在恶意软件(how to check your router for malware)的方法。
5.在路由器(Router)或交换机上尝试不同的端口(Different Port)
如果您的设备直接连接到路由器或交换机，请尝试使用其他端口以查看是否可以加快连接速度。通常，这应该不是问题，但是有许多路由器和交换机，其中某些端口比其他端口更快。您通常可以通过查看设备背面的灯来判断开关。
绿灯通常表示千兆速度，黄色/橙色是非千兆速度。如果您处于使用任何类型的托管交换机的环境中，则可以通过软件控制速度，因此在这种情况下请与您的网络管理员联系。
6. 扫描恶意软件
以太网(Ethernet)连接速度较慢可能表明您的计算机存在问题，例如恶意软件。某些类型的恶意软件使用大量网络资源，有效地从设备的其余部分窃取带宽。如果是这种情况，您的其他程序和依赖网络的进程将运行得更慢，因为它们难以与恶意软件竞争。
快速有效地扫描系统的最佳方法之一是使用免费的反恶意软件工具Malwarebytes。下载(Download)并安装 Malwarebytes，然后扫描您的系统。如果恶意软件扫描返回任何恶意文件，请全选，然后删除(Delete)。
删除恶意文件后，重新启动计算机。希望(Hopefully)您不再有缓慢的以太网(Ethernet)连接。
Malwarebytes 是一个方便的恶意软件清除工具。如果您在系统上遇到顽固的恶意软件，请查看这些其他可以使用的恶意软件删除工具。(other malware removal tools you can use)
7. 更换网线
您应该考虑的一件事是以太网(Ethernet)电缆的质量或使用年限。以太网(Ethernet)电缆具有相当的弹性，但如果您频繁断开并重新连接它们，常用的RJ45连接器可能会出现故障。
如果您手边有另一根以太网(Ethernet)电缆，请将其换成现有的。如果您的以太网(Ethernet)速度突然恢复正常，那么您已经找到了罪魁祸首。
另一个考虑因素是以太网(Ethernet)电缆类别。以太网(Ethernet)电缆具有决定其吞吐量的特定类别等级。类别越高，电缆越快。查看下表以了解以太网(Ethernet)电缆类别的比较：
如果您使用的是旧的以太网(Ethernet)电缆，例如Cat 3或Cat 5，您可能会遇到与供应商说您应该接收的速度相关的慢速以太网。(Ethernet)这两种电缆类型已过时。根据您宣传的互联网速度， Cat 5可能没问题，但您当然应该考虑升级。
如果您不确定您拥有哪种类型的以太网(Ethernet)电缆，请到您的桌子底下看看。以太网(Ethernet)电缆类别以不同的间隔印在电缆的外壳上。
8.断开任何VPN软件
如果您使用VPN私下浏览网页，它可能会减慢您的连接速度，即使您使用的是以太网(Ethernet)。VPN(VPNs)以减慢速度而臭名昭著，这就是为什么选择一个在世界各地都有服务器的 VPN 如此重要的原因。
如果您在工作中使用VPN，请确保在使用设备执行个人任务时断开连接。它将使浏览Internet的速度更快。

8 Troubleshooting Tips For a Slow Ethernet Connection
In the mоdern world, there are few things mоre irritating than a slow Ethernet connection. So much of our work and play requirеs a stable and fast іnternet connection, so when your Ethernet connection slows to a crawl, frustration rises.
You don’t have to sit about and wait for it to start working again. Take matters into your own hands with these six fixes for a slow Ethernet connection.
Before you start, though, you should determine whether it’s only your device with the slow connection or the entire network. The fixes below are only if your device is slow, but other Ethernet-connected devices have a fast connection.
If all connected devices are slow, the problem is either with your router or with your ISP. Try resetting your router or giving your ISP a call.
Lastly, check out our YouTube video where we cover some other possible reasons for slow internet and some fixes to try:
1. Restart Your Computer
Have you tried switching your computer off and on again? It’s a simple fix that you’ll hear a lot. But the reason is that restarting your computer can resolve a lot of issues. As such, it’s always worth trying before delving into more complex fixes.
2. Restart Your Network Adapter
One of the easiest and fastest fixes is to reset your network adapter. At times, your adapter will bug out and refuse to play nicely with your incoming Ethernet connection.
Press Windows Key + I, then head to Network & Internet. Under Change your network settings, select Change adapter options.
Right-click your Ethernet connection, then select Disable. Wait for a few moments, then right-click and select Enable. Your Ethernet connection should now return to regular speed.
3. Use the Network Adapter Troubleshooter
Windows includes an integrated Network Adapter Troubleshooter. The troubleshooter scans for and attempts to fix multiple issues relating to your network adapter, such as the “Windows can’t connect to this network” error.
Input network adapter in your Start Menu search bar and select the Best Match. When the troubleshooter appears, select Advanced > Apply repairs automatically.
Where possible, you should also select Run as administrator as this enables a wider range of scanning, analysis, and fixes. Depending on your system configuration, you may have to enter your Windows account password.
When ready, select Next. The scanning process will begin. If you have multiple network adapters installed, the troubleshooter will ask you to specify which adapter to scan. Select your Ethernet connection, then Next.
The troubleshooter will scan your network adapter for any issues, then suggest a relevant fix.
4. Restart Your Router
Next up, you should restart your router. Similar to resetting your network connection, restarting your router will reset your internet connection coming into your home from your Internet Service Provider (ISP), hopefully restoring your Ethernet speed in the process.
There are several ways you can restart your router, but the easiest is to set the power switch to off, leave it for a few seconds, then switch it back on. If your router doesn’t have a switch, then pull the power plug, wait a few seconds, and then plug it back in. Once the router comes back online and reconnects to your ISP, you should find your internet connection back up to proper operating speed.
Another consideration is router-based malware. It may be rare, but here’s how to check your router for malware.
5. Try a Different Port on Router or Switch
If your device is connected directly to the router or switch, try using a different port to see if that speeds up your connection. Normally, this shouldn’t be an issue, but there are many routers and switches out there where some ports are faster than others. You can normally tell on a switch by looking at the lights on the back of the device.
A green light normally indicated gigabit speeds and yellow/orange is non-gigabit speed. If you’re in an environment with any kind of managed switch, the speeds can be controlled via software, so talk to your network administrator in this type of case.
6. Scan for Malware
A slow Ethernet connection could indicate an issue with your computer, such as malware. Some types of malware use a large number of network resources, effectively stealing bandwidth from the rest of the device. If this is the case, your other programs and network-dependent processes will run much slower as they struggle to compete with the malware.
One of the best ways to scan your system quickly and effectively is with Malwarebytes, a free antimalware tool. Download and install Malwarebytes, then scan your system. If the malware scan returns any malicious files, select them all, then Delete.
After deleting the malicious files, restart your computer. Hopefully, you no longer have a slow Ethernet connection.
Malwarebytes is a handy malware removal tool. Check out these other malware removal tools you can use if you come up against stubborn malware on your system.
7. Change the Ethernet Cable
One thing you should consider is the quality or age of your Ethernet cable. Ethernet cables are fairly resilient, but if you disconnect and reconnect them frequently, the commonly used RJ45 connector may become faulty.
If you have another Ethernet cable handy, swap it out for the existing one. If your Ethernet speed suddenly returns to normal, you have found the culprit.
The other consideration is the Ethernet cable category. Ethernet cables carry a specific category rating that determines their throughput. The higher the category, the faster the cable. Check out the following table to see how Ethernet cable categories compare:
If you’re using an old Ethernet cable such as a Cat 3 or Cat 5, you may well experience slow Ethernet in relation to the speeds your provider says you should receive. These two cable types are obsolete. The Cat 5 might be okay depending on your advertised internet speed, but you should certainly consider upgrading.
If you’re unsure what type of Ethernet cable you have, get under your desk and have a look. The Ethernet cable category is printed on the external casing of the cable at various intervals.
8. Disconnect Any VPN Software
If you’re using a VPN to browse the web privately, it could be slowing down your connection, even if you’re on Ethernet. VPNs are notorious for slowing things down, that’s why it’s so important to pick one that has servers all over the world.
If you’re using a VPN for work, make sure to disconnect when using your device for personal tasks. It’ll make browsing the Internet much faster.
Resolve Your Slow Ethernet Problems
One of these six fixes will resolve your Ethernet speed issues. Thankfully, these are all easy enough for anyone to follow. Your internet shouldn’t be slow for any longer than necessary!
You want faster internet, right? Who doesn’t? Here’s how you get faster internet without paying for it!
