This depends entirely on how the switch behaves/is configured. Configuration of speed and duplex, or autonegotiation must match. With modern switches and NICs, nine times out of ten its better to leave this as autonegotiation.

To speed up an Ethernet device, ensure it's connected to a Gigabit Ethernet port, use Cat 6 or higher cables, update drivers, and check for firmware updates. Optimize network settings, reduce network congestion, and consider upgrading to a faster internet plan. Additionally, use a high-quality Ethernet switch or router for better performance. SMM Panel
