Solved ac3100 giga bit speed not advertised post reboot

[mvadu]

Setup: ac3100 connected to a raspberrypi 4 using a cat 7 cable.
Issue: Post rebooting the router it does not advertise gbps speed ( 1000baseT/Half 1000baseT/Full ) and only when I unplug the cable and put it back it goes to 1gbps. It stays until router is rebooted.

Try using a Cat 5e cable instead and seeing if that works.

@ColinTaylor I am currently using this cable - JAVEX CAT7 10GB cable now per your suggestion you think I should try one of these? Cat5e Ethernet Patch Cable

 

[ColinTaylor]

Do you not already have a Cat 5e cable you can try? It's just for testing purposes.

P.S. Try not to use flat cables.

 

[mvadu]

Thank you for the pointers. I did replace the cable and after 2 reboots it came back with 1gbps. I am still using a flat cable, but a different one. I should have thought of switching the cable before posting here.
