Router keeps capping itself to 100Mbps
Hello! I have a 1Gbps connection from my ISP and my router has been working fine for about 6 months with delivering this speed. But recently I've found that the router caps itself to 100Mbps within a 24hour interval. Whenever I reboot/clean install the router it works as expected and gives out 1Gbps, but after some hours/next day its capped at 100Mbps again...
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance

You have the r7000?
What firmware is on it?
What modem/gateway is it connected to?
Have you swapped out the cables? a sketchy cat 5e can cause issues with gigabit and drop the connection to 10/100mbps.
