1404933 2015-07-16 04:35:00 1. All machines fully updated including device drivers.

2. Both machines using 'Obtain an IP address automatically' , same DNS server: Preferred: 122.56.237.1 alternate: 210.55.111.1.

3. Older machine having Gigabyte X58A-UD3R i7 960 @3.20GHz 6GB RAM Win8.1 Pro x64bit --- achieves HIGHER download speed. :)

4. Swapped Ethernet cable, Router ports.

5. Newer machine having Asus Z97A i5-4690K @3.50GHz 8GB RAM Win8.1 Pro x64bit. -- achieves LOWER download speed. :(

I would expect the newer machine to get higher speed rather the other way around!

1404934 2015-07-16 05:16:00 Has it got the Intel NIC? If so are you using drivers from Intel or ASUS's site? Alex B (15479)
1404935 2015-07-16 09:47:00 Yes, Z97-A has Intel NIC. Installed driver from Asus site- latest available driver. bk T (215)
1404936 2015-07-16 10:07:00 Only thing I didn't install is Asus Turbo LAN as quite a bit of negative feedback on the Internet.

Do you guys reckon I should install the Turbo LAN?

1404938 2015-07-16 12:58:00 Yes, Z97-A has Intel NIC. Installed driver from Asus site- latest available driver.

The driver available from intel download site is version 20, where yours is version 19. Give it a try.

1404939 2015-07-16 21:31:00 Just replaced the Asus driver with Intel's, tested with same results. bk T (215)
1404940 2015-07-17 01:10:00 "tested with same results"

Does this mean: the problem is now resolved, as in, they both get the same speedtest results after the last changes you made,

OR

You are still getting the same results as when you first posted the problem?
