[Solved] What Speed is my Router?

Post by WhatUsernameIsFree? »

Hi all,

I've recently changed ISPs, therefore have a new router. Just wondering how I can find the speed of the network port my Gigabit network card is plugged into.

Thanks :)

Maybe :

Code: Select all

inxi -n

Hi,

Thanks for the response. I got:

Code: Select all

$inxi -n
/usr/bin/inxi: illegal option -- n
Error 7: One of the options you entered in your script parameters: -n
is not supported.The option may require extra arguments to work.
For supported options (and their arguments), check the help menu: inxi -h
So I read the -h and it shows a capital N for network, which gives me

Code: Select all

Network:   Card-1 Intel N10/ICH 7 Family LAN Controller driver e100
           Card-2 Marvell 88E8001 Gigabit Ethernet Controller driver skge
However I believe that's the network card in my computer, not the router?

Thanks :)

i used inxi 1.8.4 in LM 14,

my output of inxi -n :
Network: Card: Realtek RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller driver: r8169
IF: eth0 state: down

I think you will see the network speed in eth0 state

Both my LMDE machines return the same error.

Are there any other ways?

Thanks. That solved it. It's a 100Mbit connection and my ISP is trying to sell me 120Mbit fibre optics. I think I may leave it. :lol:
