RBR50 WAN set to 100M after 2.5.1.16
I have had an RBR50 with one satellite running successfully using my Gig speed from my ISP (ATT) for almost 3 years now. I applied new firmware before going on vacation. I am back from vacation and was noticing slower performance than usual. When I started looking at my speeds I noticed that I was set to 100M/Full on my WAN port instead of 1000M/Full. I confirmed that my ATT modem was showing 1000 connections speeds. I also tried hard coding the port to 1000M/Full on the modem and then the link stayed down on the Orbi until I switched it back to Auto.
As mentioned I have been running about 950+ Down and Up for the last 3 years, now i'm running less than 100 which is unacceptable. Is there a way to change the speed/duplex of the WAN port?
I will try swapping out the cable tomorrow, but I've been seen similar issues on multiple FW levels throughout the years so this seems to be a recurring theme. I've tried disabling Daisy Chaining, I've tried switching to AP mode, and I've tried Factory reset from the GUI.

Sounds like you've tried a few things.
the changing cables is a good start.
You could also try changing ports on the att modem in case its a port issue.
You can even try downgrading the firmware if you think thats the only change since you've already tried the reset/AP mode options.
