Wired Ethernet line to pc is running at 100mbps instead of 1gb
I just connected my pc via ethernet cable (Cat5e) to the nighthawk r7000. It blinks red and is running at 100mbps, instead of 1 gb. The troubleshooting steps I have already done are as follows. ...
Okay so I purchased a ethernet cable tester, turns out the cable was indeed bad. I went ahead and created a new cable, and it does have a gigabit connection.
Lesson learned dont trust your laptops lan port, try more than on device, and most likely it is the cable.
The pc gets a 1gb connection if I have it directly wired to one of the ports on the modem.
The pc is a desktop.
I have ran a gigabit network on it with my previous router/modem combo.
I tested the same cable with the laptop and it works fine.

Have you tried to reset the lan port on the computer to tell the computer about the new router?
