Cipher Posted April 27, 2016 CID Share Posted April 27, 2016 On my network, I have a Windows 7 (ethernet) machine that testmy.net reports about the speed that my ISP says I'm paying for. ( I appreciate this site so much!) 2 Linus boxes (ethernet, same router) that report about 1/3 of what the Windows box reports. I have decent equipment, Arris Surfboard 6183, Netgear AC 2350 Nighthawk, all with short (< 6') runs of new cat 6. All up/down is suspened on all machines when I test. Browsers are up to date. Anyone with a clue? Thanks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudmanc4 Posted April 28, 2016 CID Share Posted April 28, 2016 Sounds as if you'll need to update the kernel on the effected machines. What versions of Linux are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mudmanc4 Posted April 30, 2016 CID Share Posted April 30, 2016 Run on the mint box command line: uname -r This will print the kernel version. You may be fluent with this, not something I would know so please excuse me if so. The latest kernel; right now is 4.5.0 [edit] I'll take a stab at it and say the machine is running a 3.13.x variant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudmanc4 Posted April 30, 2016 CID Share Posted April 30, 2016 To add for whoever may come across this in the future, please never rush into updating the kernel for your needs / requirements, you could end up with a completely broken system, or at the least unable to boot. jadez03 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
