About Ethernet Driver:
Windows platforms generally apply a generic driver that allows motherboards to recognize the Ethernet component. However, in order to make use of all network card (adapter) features, you must install a proper LAN driver that enables the hardware. This task enables systems to connect to a network, as well as collect all component characteristics such as manufacturer and chipset. If you intend to update the driver version, know that this process can add support for new OSes, fix different compatibility problems, resolve related errors encountered during the product’s lifetime, as well as include various other changes. When it comes to the actual installation procedure, we should note that most producers try to make it as easy as possible, so following the steps should be a breeze: just get the downloadable package, run the setup, and follow the on-screen instructions. There is a chance that other OSes could also be suitable, but it is not advisable that you install this release on platforms other than the specified ones. Remember to perform a system reboot once done, to allow all changes to take effect properly. Therefore, if you wish to apply this version, click on the download button and enable your network card. To stay up to speed with the latest updates, check back with our website as often as possible.

Nothing happened. I had to reboot my PC but it is still the same. The internet speed test wont pass over 100 mb/s
Don't know what to do anymore, a friend told me that would be my antivirus or my firewall. Most laptops wich has windows 8.1 has this problem, dunno what to do next, I am opened to any suggestions.
So far I really appreciate your help. Thank you Mister.
Sorry to ask again but your connection between modem/router and notebook is with fiber cable?
to be honest i never hard issue on having 1Gbps connection with windows 8.1

I have fiber cable into the modem (ZTE ZXHN F660) and from the modem into the laptop I have CAT5 cable.
I tested many laptops with this connections and every single one of them wich had gigabite lan had a speed over 800 mb/s except this one, my personal acer aspire v5-552pg.
Same CAT5 cable?
by the way, disable : Energy Efficient Ethernet
it's in the same windows where you have found the speed settings.

Well I called at the service where they have changed my primary HDD (the stock one 1Tb 5400 rpm into 160Gb SSD HDD) and they told me that they couldn*t make the SSD HDD run on bios 2.07 so they switched into 2.02. I have exchanged my old HDD and it's working now.
Here is the final test speed
As you can see it raised with 50 Mb/s ...
But still I know that this PC can do better. I'm dissappointed.
Thank you a lot for your help, I think I'll just have to admit that this laptop was not build to reach download speed of over 700 Mb/s .
