I seem to have the same problem: my brand new RBK 852/AX6000 connects to my router at 100MB
My router is a Mikrotek RB2011UAS running RouterOS v6.46.4 (latest version).
I connect the RBK852 to one of the ethernet ports on the Mikrotek RB2011UAS, and then see this on the Mikrotek:
/interface ethernet monitor ether4
name: ether4
status: link-ok
auto-negotiation: done
rate: 100Mbps
full-duplex: yes
tx-flow-control: no
rx-flow-control: no
advertising: 10M-half,10M-full,100M-half,100M-full
link-partner-advertising: 10M-half,10M-full,100M-half,100M-full
See especially that last line: link-partner-advertising, which caps out at 100M-full.
The other ports have other things connected, and say:
rate: 1Gbps
If I swap ports I also get swapped results, so it really seems like the RBK852 is only advertising 100MB.
I updated the firmware when setting it up, and it now says there is no more updates.
I used the ethernet cable in the RBK852 box to connect the RBK852 to the Mikrotek RB2011UAS.
Any idea how I can get the RBK 852 to use 1Gbs to connect to the modem/router ?
Update: I connected my old AP, a Apple Airport Extreme, and it gets the 1 Gbs rate.
