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.
I tried to look for one but didn't see anywhere that I could change the speeds.
I remember of a past posting that a 10/100mb lan had problems with the a netgear's 1gb port they could only get a very low speed on that lan feed. It was a older lan card the poster had but the 1 gb switch fixed the issue I can see a possible that new and old want to fight the switch seem to stop them. I understand that a gb lan port on a older computer should be the same standard as today but some how they do not also see eye to eye and go to war.
