MR60 Ethernet interface less than 100mbps
I have 500mbps service from Spectrum and the "Internet" interface of my MR60 shows 580Mbps down but the "Ethernet" interface only outputs 89Mbps. I have changed out the cables 5 times. I have tried CAT5e and CAT6 (though both are spec'd to handle gigabit bandwidth). I have factory reset the ENTIRE network, (modem, router, satellites, unmanaged switch) Spectrum has come out and tuned up the signal quality. Do I need to buy a new router set up? Is the Ethernet interface only 100Mbps?! 90mbps hardwired is ridiculous.
I am going to have to resort to my last ditch effort of getting a separate router that can actually negotiate proper ethernet speeds and ditch the MR60 that apparent doesn't know what to do with that information. Thanks for all the assistance ya'll have been great!

What's the modem/gateway/ONT between the router and the Internet?
In the browser graphical user interface (GUI), what do you see in the Status column when you Show Statistics?
- Advanced Home
- Show Statistics
Where is this "unmanaged switch" in the network?
Well Ill be damned... The Show Statistics does indeed show LAN1 interface as having only 100MB, that sucks because I bought this last year not in 2001, I guess I'll need a different router do you have any recommendations?
As for the other questions the Modem is a EU2251 with a 2.5gbps interface > MR60 > Generic 2.5gbps switch > PC

No, you need to work out why it is doing that. Then fix it.
There is no reason why the MR60 shouldn't work at 1000 Mbps.
What does the Internet Setup look like?
WAN Preference?
This is new territory to me, I have no hope of getting speeds that high. So I am not familiar with things like that.
There are people here who are more familiar with that stuff. I just know a bit abut where to look for clues. Maybe you need to do something to match the 2.5 Gbps interface on the EU2251.
