Speeds capped at 100MB
I just upgraded to gigabit internet, I went and checked everything. My ethernet cable supports gigabit speed. My router supports gigabit speed. And so does my motherboard. I have troubleshooted and figured out that it's something on my end not the ISP. When I check the status it shows that it's running at 100M/Full Duplex. Is there a setting that needs changed?

Re: Speeds capped at 100MB
the very document you linked to shows you the lan/wan speed and it only being 10/100mbps.

Which part of "the documentation"? Are you looking at this bit (page
2):
[...] Fast download speeds up to 1000Mbps. [...]
or this bit (page 4):
Fast Ethernet
or this bit (page 5):
o Five (5) 10/100Mbps (1 WAN and 4 LAN)
Fast Ethernet ports with auto-sensing
technology
?
There's some inconsistency there, but the majority view seems to be
"Fast Ethernet":
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast_Ethernet
And then there's the "Technical Specifications" section in the R6080
User Manual:
LAN Four RJ-45 ports supporting 10/100BASE-T
WAN One RJ-45 port supporting 10/100BASE-T
Plus other references to "Fast Ethernet".
Given your experience, which do you believe?
