R7000 WAN capped
The WAN status used to say 1000M/Full (I'm on a gigabit service) and my tests were around 800 down 250 up but now it says 100M/Full, and my speeds are consistantly 94/94 mb/s. If I directly connect t...
Technician came out today, and while working with the network admin group they noticed two different IPs going to the modem. Supposedly two IPs were causing a conflict. They have no idea when this happened. The issue is now resolved and I am getting gigabit speeds through the r7000 once again.
That would suggest that the link auto-negotiation is falling back to the fast Ethernet rate. There’s no easy way round this, auto negotiation can fail for a variety of reasons. If you have access to a gigabit switch you may find that placing it between the router and the modem can result in auto negotiation working for both segments. Not a solution but maybe worth a try just to narrow down the cause.
I'm pretty certain you are correct except that the modem is most likely the issue. Tried two other routers (also multiple cat 5e and cat 6 cables) today and they all appear to be using fast Ethernet instead of gigabit. I'm having a technician come out on Monday.
If you have a 1000mb switch lying around plug both the modem and router into switch ports. It should negotiate up to 1000mb.
