I have an R6300 and I have a gigabit connection. If I bypass the router I get a very fast speed but if I connect via Ethernet through the router I am getting 100mb up and down. What do I need to do to get gigabit out of the router?

Make sure your Ethernet cables are Cat5e or better. In addition, Gigabit Ethernet uses all 8 wires in the cable. If even 1 wire is damaged, the interface will drop down to 100 Mbps, which only uses 4 wires.

That was it. I changed to a new cable and it worked! Thanks much for the suggestion.
