upgraded my mt2500 to 4.4.5 stable last night, just found out my main router (rt-ac68u) detected the mt2500 lan connection at 100mbps, i pulled and replug the lan plug it then go back to a 1000mbps connection
don’t know how to recreate but this had happened before at previous firmware versions
Has it happened just that once, or does it happen regularly?
once few days ago i did a speedtest and the speed maxed at 100 when i expected 200+, it returned to normal maybe after i rebooted the router, cant remember
then this time found out its detected as 100mbps connection when i visited the main router page
only clue i can think of is it all happened after each firmware upgrade, but not verified
Only other reason I can imagine is the rj45 plug got dirty.
ok will give them some rubbing
if there’s no visible dirt that’s probably not the issue (and even then, it would only be on the cable side, not on the router)
I had a cable that when moved around would go from 1Gb to 100Mb on my original slate. I replaced it and have not seen the issue reoccur.
sounds very likely, i was moving around the pile of routers
