Can we force the ethernet link to 100mbps?
#1
Like other people here, I'm experiencing problems with the network connection when using gigabit ethernet on Android 5 (and Remix OS). The connection becomes unreliable and very slow. On Remix OS I can use my USB/Ethernet dongle, this does not work on Android.

Since a rooted image of Android is now available, I have been trying to force the eth0 link to 100mbps without success.

What I did was:

su
ifconfig eth0 media 100baseTX

Tried also several other strings such as 100, 100baseT, etc.. no go.

Someone knows which mode correspond to the 100mbps mode?
Ethtool may help on this? How to install it?


This may be a good workaround for people without wifi card and that can't change downgrade the speed on the router.

Thanks.
