Hi,
Have a Manjaro KDE 64Bit Linux desktop and Windows 11 Pro 64Bit desktop connected to same router.
The speed of the Internet connection on the Linux desktop is half compared to Windows desktop?
(on Linux I am getting 250Mbps and on Windows I am getting 500Mbps)
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Jesse

What do you base your comparison on?
What connection (wired/wireless) are you comparing?
Hi,
Both desktops are connected to the router by Ethernet cables.
I use: www.speedtest.net to test Internet speed on both desktops.
Jesse
Linux != Windows
You cannot be serious - you can’t see the difference …
Maybe test the raw lan perfomance with iperf3. There is a binary for windows and linux…
You need 2 computers on the same network:
iperf3 -s
iperf3 -c 192.168.1.xxx
Are there any differences between Windows and Linux?
Why am I asking this? Because to exclude that the problem is the driver or the lan network.
You have three network devices. Is the problem only with device #3?
Try to switch to using the r8168 driver instead. There’s many posts about it on these forums.
Manjaro’s Hardware Tool has a built-in mechanism to do this for you automatically.
Make sure to reboot after applying the changes.
See posts below. Your third card is a PCI card that might be inferior to your onboard one in Linux.
I don’t see what would make the bandwidth this reduced on Manjaro.
Considering your systems are on distinct computers, difference in hardware (up to the router port) may impact.
I also spotted this that might be relevant.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Network_configuration/Ethernet#Gigabyte_Motherboard_with_Realtek_8111/8168/8411
System data is showing Device 3 is working at 1000Mbps
Device-3: Realtek RTL8169 PCI Gigabit Ethernet driver: r8169 v: kernel
port: c000 bus-ID: 05:06.0 chip-ID: 10ec:8169 class-ID: 0200
IF: enp5s6 state: up speed: 1000 Mbps duplex: full mac: <filter>
and Device 1 onboard NIC is shown as down
I suggest you try disabling onboard NIC in BIOS in case it is conflicting with the working NIC
They might even try to disable the third one (currently “up”) and only use the first one (currently “down”) with the r8168 driver.
Is there a reason you’re using a distinct PCI card for your ethernet connection? The onboard one is tried-and-true and works seamlessly with Linux.
Device 3 is a Realtek r8169 and has the correct driver.
But if the r8169 driver is blacklisted and replaced with r8168 driver, the currently working card might cause problems for the Onboard NIC
I caught that which is why I added with a reply (and edit):
EDIT: @JeZxLee how are you conducting these speed tests? Are these two distinct machines, or a dual-boot with both Manjaro and Windows on the same machine?
I have used r8168 NICs on Asus motherboards for many years and they usually worked no problem with either driver. But even Asus boards do not work well with incorrect driver with recent kernels
However, Gigabyte r8168 NIC motherboards don’t usually work well, if at all, with r8169 drivers
Internet is 3 times slower on Linux than windows in the same machine
IMO for this situation it would be better to try the quick and simple thing first before changing drivers and removing additional cards
Definitely good to rule out. My hunch is that Linux is behaving properly and that the onboard NIC is not interfering with the speeds of the PCI card. Which is why I’m curious how @JeZxLee conducted their “speed tests”.
