Wired connection limited to 100mbps
I have attached my Nvidia Shield to the router via ethernet (about 5meters Cat5e), however the speed is capped at 100mbps. The Shdield is connected to LAN port 3 and the LED on the front of the D7000...
another thing to check, if you have other gigabit devices, connect them to that port on the router and see if its a port issue. If the port is connecting other devices at gigabit speeds, the ports working.
If its just the shield, it kind of isolates it to either the cable or the shield itself.
It's a 2017 shield which is capable of gigabit.
I've just bought the 5e cable so it's brand new. I'll try another though to whittle out the problem... I just assumed that it wouldn't work at all if the cable was faulty.

After all that, it seems to be a dodgy new cable... boo!
Thanks for your help :)
