So heres my situation, i have a B550 Aorus Elite rev 1.3 that suddenly stopped working the realtek 2.5Gbps network adapter, forcing me to use a usb wifi adapter. With my 300mbps fiber i used to get around 200mpbs on the adapter so i thought hey, let me get a usb to Rj45 gigabit adapter, that should do it right? and it did.
However, when trying to use mullvad VPN on any server at all, it never goes above 10-12mpbs.
I know that this isnt a mullvad issue at all (my GF’s pc works just fine on her b450 Asus Prime with integrated adapter), its just my PC. I also did went through the rabbit hole of the B550’s from gigabyte that has this issue and got no luck at all (wich is why i ended up buying the adapter).
Any ideas what i can try to do to fix this? or the only solution would be a pcie network adapter? cause if so, my gpu is 3 slot wide and its covering all of the remaining pcie’s :(
