    try replacing the cable with at least a cat 6 cable. And try it on different ports to see if its related to the port.

    Thanks for your help, I checked that I'm using a CAT6 cable and also tried different ports. Still the same.

    when you switch ports, does the other port switch to 100mbps connection? 

    do any devices connect at gigabit speeds under the statistics page?
