Mini S13 NIC stuck at 100Mbps

RobWu

HI,
After my first issues with the Windows installation on first boot, I had to reinstall Windows from a clean ISO.
I found the driverfile for the Mini S13, so I was able to install these that belong to the hardware.

But my NIC, what supposedly should be a 1GbE, is stuck at network speeds of 100Mbit/10Mb a second.
After some fiddling with the advanced NIC settings (auto negotiate/1000Mbps-Full Duplex) it didn’t have any effect.
I tried the same cable from a PC that has 1GbE and network downloads around 100-120Mb/s, so it’s not the cable.

I also tried a bootable Linux version, and in Linux the NIC is also limited 10 100Mbps. So……..

There’s nothing in the current BIOS (v3) that is linked to the NIC (pun intended). I cannot find any solutions on the forum here as well.

Is there a newer BIOS that might solve this?
Is there something else I can try to see if I can convince the NIC to work at 1000Mbps?

It’s driving me crazy, as100Mbps is too slow for the Jellyfin server it is running.

OK, I was able to borrow a switch from a friend, and tested some more ‘in-between’ hardware in the network.

It seems my current switch is failing on several ports, so it ‘falls back’ to 100Mbps. With the switched.. err…. switch network speeds came back up to 90-110Mb/s. Oddly enough the other pc’s are on ports that seem to have no issues (yet), so I didn’t know the switch was failing me.
So I need another switch it seems, but the S13 is racing now.

I do would like a better system for finding drivers, BIOS versions and/or ISO’s for all Beelink hardware. 🤔
It’s all over the place, and I was capped out while trying to DL a ISO from Mega. Not very user-friendly imho. 🤷

And my question still stand for #1: Is v3 the latest BIOS for the S13, and if not, where can I find it?

RobWu Hello there,

Please press delete key as soon as you turn on the PC, so that you can go to BIOS. Please send us a picture of the Main page.
We will check if you need to update the BIOS.

Hi,
here’s the (somewhat blurry) screenshot of the BIOS:
