On the next drop down boxes, change Speed to 100baseTX and the Duplex to full-duplex. Apply the settings and now run the speed tests. |
I think I know what this does.. depending on your configuration:
The 10/100/1000 baseTX is obviously the maximum connection speed that you mac and hub can sustain. For example, an iMac with 1000 mb/s speed and a hub with 100 mb/s speed can only support a max of 100 baseTX..
Some routers operate as a switch, delivering 100 MB in and out (Full-duplex). Other, non-swich routers deliver a total of 100 MB, 50 in and 50 out. (half-duplex)
As for the MTU.. probably best right where it is.
