problem port internet orbi rbk50
Good afternoon community, I hope you can advise or guide me towards a solution to my problem. I have an Orbi RBK50, and it receives its internet connection through an Ethernet cable. Suddenly, it started malfunctioning, and the connection drops to 100 Mbps instead of Gigabit. I've checked with different cables and even a switch, and the network speed has not dropped to 100 Mbps as the Orbi configures it. Is there any way to force that port to not auto-negotiate or to check at what speed the Orbi's port is negotiating? I appreciate your information in advance."

The speed negotiated is displayed on the Orbi web interface, Advanced Tab. Click the box "Show Statistics" and this box will come up:
There is nothing the user can do to influence the speed negotiated. This is done entirely by the actual hardware:

What is at the other end of that cable?
