Sounds like you may need to change your cables, if you try a new one does the link speed change back to 1000Mbps?

No, changing the cables does nothing. I’ve tried multiple, brand new cat 7 cables.
This is also a new issue, it was fine a few days ago, nothing has changed.

It's also not just the ethernet, it's limiting the WIFI as well to 100mb

Have you tried going in manually to set the qos for gigabit speeds?
A tried a simple factory reset on the router?
what firmware is currently on the router?

I've tried changing it manually to 1000/1000 Yes, nothing changed, and I've disabled it all together, nothing has changed.
I've factory reset the router twice so far, no changes.
It's currently on V2.3.2.66
