Netgear WN2000RPT Ethernet Speed
I am trying to use WN2000RPT v1 with my computer connected using Cat-6 ethernet cable. The problem is that my computer Ethernet always negotiates 100MBPS link with WN2000RPT. However, if I connect m...
So clarifying by setting them to 1000Mbps.
You went to the ethernet adapter, in the advanced tab and clicked Speed & Duplex and put the setting to 1.0Gbps Full Duplex and repeated the process on the WN2000RPT?
Verification path to check in Windows 10 (one of many)
Control Panel > Network & Internet > Change adapter options > Interface you are using > Properties > Configure (button) > Advanced (tab) > Scroll down (button) > Speed & Duplex > Value (drop-down) > 1.0 Gbps Full Duplex
yes, it does not work. If I force 1gbps, link never goes UP with WN2000RPT. I already mentioned that no issues with Nighthawk so there is no issue with computer setup. It's something to do with WN2000RPT
are WN2000RPT ethernet ports 1GBPS? If yes, any pecularities ?
I've done some reading, and had to go back to some old Cisco terminology here to see your answer. After looking all over the place for numeric information regarding the interface I'm seeing that the ports on the WN2000RPTv2 are titled "Fast Ethernet Ports". In Cisco lingo, and the majority of the network platforms this becomes a Fa port in CLI.
Fa ports are not Gi ports. In otherwords, I would suspect that this is a 100Mbps interface. When you see 1000Mbps on the otherside I would suspect that it's either cosmetic, or incorrectly assuming a speed negotiation.
I though so as I also designed switches for Lucent, however this doc mentions 1000mbps interface

Interesting, this is pretty strange for sure. It's definitely not wanting to negotiate for some reason. Wonder if the NIC doesn't like the way it talks to the computer. Brand issue perhaps?

This is a violation of the IEEE 802.3 standards anyway, from Section 2:
28D.5 Extensions required for Clause 40 (1000BASE-T)
Clause 40 (1000BASE-T) makes special use of Auto-Negotiation and requires additional MII registers. This use is summarized below. Details are provided in 40.5.a. Auto-Negotiation is mandatory for 1000BASE-T (see 40.5.1).

28D.6 Extensions required for Clause 55 (10GBASE-T)
Clause 55 (10GBASE-T) makes special use of Auto-Negotiation and requires additional MDIO registers. This use is summarized below. Details are provided in 55.6.a. Auto-Negotiation is mandatory for 10GBASE-T.

They are not, all Fast Ethernet only...
The v1 and v2 user manual has various (partially obvious - USB, DOCSIS ...) errors in the tech specs, with the v3 hardware release the doc was fixed, too. The data sheets do nowhere talk of Gigabit.hmm, that was my doubt too but that specs document caused confusion.
However, now I see another link with more chipset specs and logs on 1gbps negotiated on open-wrt, and so more confusion
