I will take RBR to my workplace and test as you have mentioned to see if it changes to 1000m. Will post the update. Thank you.
Most USB C to ETH adapters these days are 1000Mpbs supporting.
Let us know what it shows at your work place. Can connect any PC or even a LAN switch up long enough to see WAN port speed while another PC is connected to LAN port and it's web page.
