R7000 not doing gigabit ethernet
My nighthawk r7000 isn't doing a gigabit ethernet connection to my PC with Asus m5a97 motherboard that does gigabit connection the light is amber Im using cat 7 ethernet cable and when i look at ether...
I don't know what you're seeing, but one thing (I believe) that I've
observed is that a computer with a wake-on-LAN feature, when running on
stand-by power, may use only a 100MHz link rate on its network
interface. Then, when the system is fully powered up, the network
interface should re-negotiate the link rate, and switch to 1GHz. I can
imagine a case where the router is negotiating once, while the computer
is in its stand-by/slower mode, and, for reasons unknown, not
re-negotiating later.
If this were the case, then disconnecting and reconnecting the cable
while the computer is powered on (and the OS is running) should cause a
proper re-negotiation.
Assuming that your computer has an active Ethernet interface when
it's "off" (stand-by power only), and you may have LED indicators at
each end, then you may be able to see it's slower ("fast" = 100MHz) that
way, and if it does better when the OS takes over, and/or if you
temporarily pull the cable.
It is easy to overlook "bad cable" syndrome. We all assume that a cable that works just fine will continue to do so. The other day my network connection from my main PC slowed to a crawl. Swapping out the cable brought it back to life.
Tired 2 cables and the cake has improved my ping and speed I know cat 7 isn't official yet but they r good cables I don't believe it's the cables I'm also greeting same to my lg tv but that might not have gigabit ethernet can't seem to find out
- So I'm wondering is there a setting in the router some where to change ethernet setting tried xbox one now still no gigabit connection
- There are no settings on the R7000 to change the port speed. You can, however, see the current port speed on the Show Statistics page. You can reach it from the Advanced Settings page.
BTW, in order for Gigabit to work, all 4 wire pairs in the Ethernet cable must work. If even one wire is broken, then the cable is bad. Of course, the devices on both ends of the cable must be Gigabit-capable.- Ok thanks just don't understand have 2 bran new cat 7 they both not doing gigabit connection and have one cat6a cable that r same
