I managed to somewhat resolve this issue.

I booted my windows PC to Ubuntu and did iperf there. I got 10Gbs up and down. So I guess its an issue with Windows.


Hi all,

I was recently introduced to Proxmox VE by a close friend of mine and I have been playing around alot for the past few weeks. However, I have been running into some issues with my network speed.

Currently, I have 2 setups:

1st setup - Main Desktop
Z790 Gigabyte Aorus Master X on i9-14900K
Marvel AQtion v 3.1.6.0

2nd setup - NAS Server
Proxmox VE
H110M on i5-7400

I just recently purchased a 10G NIC card, AQC113C NBase-T/IEEE 802.3bz Ethernet Controller [AQtion] and I want to set up a 10Gbps internal network. I have also just bought a 10G network switch and both my main desktop and NAS are connected to it.

ip link on my NAS Server (Proxmox Host console):

Based on my knowledge, (what little I have so far), if both my LAN ports are connected via 10G with CAT 8 cables, I should have both 10Gbps transfer speeds. However, after testing iperf on my network, here is what I have seen.

Main Desktop 192.168.2.32/24
Proxmox host 192.168.2.222/24

iperf3 -c 192.168.2.32

From Promox to the Main desktop, I am getting 2.5gbps of transfer speed.

iperf -c 192.168.2.222

From my Desktop to Proxmox, around 10Gbps of transfer speed.

Moreover, my switch shows that both my desktop and proxmox server are connected at 10G auto duplex. I have checked multiple times to ensure it has 10G connectivity and I have tried to set the MTU to 9000, all to no avail.

Currently, I am scratching my head and figuring out why am I receiving this type of speed. Any kind soul can kindly help me before my GF decides to kick me to the curb?

Much appreciated!
