RBS50 limited to 100 Mbps over cat6
As the post says I have a machine networked via Cat5e to a RBS50 satellite which is itself networked to a RBR40 via Cat6 cable. I get Sonic gigabit service but only receive 100 Mbps through the ...

well the 30 foot Cat5e cable consistently delivers 1000Mbps when plugged directly into my workstation.
So i feel like the cable is not the issue. -----Some devices are more tolerant of sketchy cables. So while it might work on the workstation, its possible that the cable ends/cable itself is still sketchy/bad. I've seen this happen several different times. the 6ft test with a decent quality cat 6 cable is ideal.
okay after replacing the cable i am indeed getting gigabit speeds across wifi and lan through the RBS50.
I feel dumb for assuming because the the cable delivered 1000Mbps to my workstation, it would also have the same performance on the RBS50. i guess the satellite is a bit picky.
Thanks all for the help getting this one sorted.
Glad you got it fixed!
A bit of a PITA to diagnose but easy fix once identified.
