HomeAsssitantOS Network speed (wifi & wired) on Raspberri pi 5 capped at 11MB/s (100Mbit)
Describe the issue you are experiencing
The raspberry pi 5 should get gigabit speeds, but I haven't achieved any speed over 100Mbit on my pi5 with HomeAsssistant OS. I tried wired and wireless, but no changes. Other devices on same network cable or wireless connection get 1Gbit/s.
What operating system image do you use?
rpi5-64 (Raspberry Pi 5 64-bit OS)
What version of Home Assistant Operating System is installed?
16.0
Did the problem occur after upgrading the Operating System?
No
Hardware details
Raspberry Pi 5 Installed OS on 4TB USB HDD
Steps to reproduce the issue
- Install HAOS on RBpi5
- Connect to a wired connection where you know speed is >100Mbit
- Do any speed check (e.g. with
iperf3over LAN or the speedtest integration) - see 100Mbit cap

Same what's been asked in the other OS issue applies here - can you reproduce the issue with Raspberry Pi OS at the first place? If not, check dmesg | grep macb, you should get something like this:
[ 0.499462] macb 1f00100000.ethernet eth0: Cadence GEM rev 0x00070109 at 0x1f00100000 irq 106 (d8:3a:dd:83:b0:ba)

FWIW, I quickly tested it by downloading Ubuntu ISO from a local mirror on a ~1G uplink, and I get close to wire speed - definitely no indication of 100M cap here:
# curl https://cz.releases.ubuntu.com/releases/25.04/ubuntu-25.04-live-server-amd64.iso > /dev/null

I have a RPI 4B, I updated to OS 16.0 and lan speed has gone down significantly. I updated my internet connection to 1Gbs recently. With OS 15.2 maximum speed (measured with speedtest) is close to 930Mbs, but when updating to 16.0 it was down to 700-600Mbs. When I downgraded to 15.2, it worked well again. Last days with 16.1 performance is exactly the same, so I reverted 15.2 again. With 16.X ethernet driver is correctly detected as 1000.
For some reason, the new ethernet driver is performing worse for RPI 4.
Please find attached screenshot where it is pretty clear:
There hasn't been any activity on this issue recently. To keep our backlog manageable we have to clean old issues, as many of them have already been resolved with the latest updates. Please make sure to update to the latest Home Assistant OS version and check if that solves the issue. Let us know if that works for you by adding a comment 👍 This issue has now been marked as stale and will be closed if no further activity occurs. Thank you for your contributions.

Home Assistant OS 16.3 has NOT resolved the issue, so I had to reverte to 15.2 again. With 16.3 download speed is again closer to 600Mbs instead of 900 with 15.2, besides CPU looks a bit busier.
Update, issue was in fact not caused by homeassistant or my raspberry pi... It was a gigabit switch which had an issue. Sorry!
Probably we are mentioning 2 different issues, but I used this to avoid opening a new one. In my case, with Rpi 4B, it recognizes gigabit speed (1000), but ethernet performance is much lower with new driver from 16.x.
