CAX80 Stuck at 100mbps when using Multigig Port for Ethernet
Just started yesterday, my CAX80 multigig port no longer works beyond 100mbps. Tried with 2 different NIC on my motherboard, both produce same result. Also switched my ethernet cable and same results...

Network Card: Aquantia AQtion AQC107 10Gbit Network Adapter
Network Card: Intel I225-V Ethernet Controller
Both exhibit exactly the same issue of max 100mbps connections and both were working 100% until just a few days ago. It started out of nowhere, no Windows or drivers updates were applied or changed. I verified the driver version and even tried to clean reinstall the driver. Tried different cables, and issue persists.
Both network adapters work 100% at 1000mbps link when switching to the LAN1 port. However that isn't a "fix" as the Multi-gig port should work as intended like it did before.
Does it sound like I need to start an RMA with Netgear?
