Sorry if this sounds autistic, but is it possible to change out

>>62338864
yes and no

>100mbps port for a 1000mbps one?
>the absolute state of /g/

Theyre not a card or anything like that, they're soldered directly to the board and their performance and speed standard is dependent on the motherboard chipset. In some cases updating a mobo chipset can give you better features but not for things like ports. Cant turn USB 2.0 into 3.0, cant make 100mbps to 1gbps

>>62338896
I only ask because I have a really shit HP laptop, and I'd like to make it tolerable. R.I.P

>>62338910
Really just get a new laptop. It's not possible to swap it out, it's part of the motherboard.

>>62338929
no usb 3.0 ports

>>62338864
or this
>>62338929

>>62338932
Ok then. Would a Lenovo Legion y520 be ok? My fren in class(vocational school), has one, and it actually doesn't look too autistic like most gayming laptops

>>62338960
Well it has a gigabit ethernet port, which is what you wanted, so I don't see anything wrong with it.

That's not how that works.

nigger, do you math?

>mfw when 480mbps is 1gbps

>>62339073
Bottle neck. Even slower than your PCI-e integrated nic.

>>62339073
>>62339133
>>62339145
>>62339151
>>62339161

still better than 100mbps

>>62339151
Still much better than 100mbps.

>>62339177
You do realize it will just negotiate down the speed to 100mbit anyways, right?

>>62339283
sure, it the other end is at 100mbps. if the other end is at 1gbps it'll set at 1gbps. if that were the case they wouldn't be manufacturing a 1gbps usb adapter.

>>62338932
Arguably possible depending on your soldiering skills and if you can find a chipset that'll fit. NIC controllers aren't often integrated into northbridge/southbridge controllers on older laptops.

It'd still be damn difficult and could ruin your motherboard though, probably better off buying a new laptop

>>62338864
yes. just solder a new nic chip in it.

Upgrade your fucking single core 2004 shit top. C2D with gigabit and expresscard is $40

>>62339361
> sure, it the other end is at 100mbps. if the other end is at 1gbps it'll set at 1gbps.

No it won't because it cannot support 1gbps due to the speed limitations of USB 2.0

> if that were the case they wouldn't be manufacturing a 1gbps usb adapter.

Unless of course they wanted to oversell their product to stupid people who don't know better.
Additionally "10/100/1000" doesn't mean it *is* 1gbps. It means it "supports" it because the spec standard demands that it down-negotiates to the lowest denominator.

>>62339361
Nigga usb 2.0 can only do 480mbps and most motherboard chipsets gimp that even
Theyre selling it as that because the adapters chipset can technically do it, but usb 2.0 cant. They can list it as 1gbps but irl its gonna default to 100mbps

>>62338864

If your compfortably for the solder in eth0 ctrler with more tracking on mother boats

Yes

Lead Flux

>>62339499
You don't seem to understand that 480 > 100

>>62338896
>Cant turn USB 2.0 into 3.0, cant make 100mbps to 1gbps
are you retarded? you fucking add it to the motherboard.

>>62338877
Checked and kekd

>>62338864
yes, if you can solder and aren't retarded.

just get the right tools

flux, solder, good soldering iron with a small tip. look on aliexpress for gigabit ethernet components

>>62341574
you don't have to change the port, just the ethernet controller chip right behind the port. it's just a 6 pin lil bitch
