How to tell what the negotiated link speed of the LAN ports are? (10T/100T/1000T)

Agree that this would be a nice RFE. Many cheap unmanaged Gigabit switches nowadays don't have separate LEDs for 10/100/1000 either. The Orbi is managed so this shouldn't be too hard to implement.
10 gig/NBase-T in the home is coming too, even though not supported on current Orbi hardware.

Link speeds are shown in the "Show Statistics" pop-up.... when I had a cable problem on one device I could see it's rate drop to 100M

Thanks , Marty , good to know !
The stats seem to be there only for the main router though, no stats for the satellite LAN ports as far as I could find.
And no link speeds for Wireless clients, either. At least we now have the wireless bands for each one.

yes, good point. That would be useful
- eemattSep 29, 2017AspirantThanks Marty! Even though it only shows the router ports it helps a lot! Thanks again
