January 20, 20188 yr Hello, I tried searching the forum, but found nothing, either my keyword sucks or no such problem ever posted. NIC Link is up 100Mbps instead of 1000Mbps. Any idea what caused it? I'm not sure what that exceed max 2 second means. Is it a problem with the router or my setting in NAS? Here is my setup. I have a VM that is passthrough as well, would that cause it? Edited January 22, 20188 yr by sevenz
January 21, 20188 yr Or bent pin in either the PC or switch port. I've seen it happen when someone jammed a telephone cable into a cheap ethernet jack.

I plugged it out and back and now it's green light with 1000mbps speed. But how can loose cable still get connection? I thought it's supposed to just lose connection?

TX-100 and TX-1000 uses the wires differently, which means TX-100 can work where TX-1000 doesn't. TX-100 only needs two of the pairs, while TX-1000 needs all four pairs. Besides that, TX-1000 uses a higher bandwidth through each pair making it more sensitive to a bad connection.

Guess if it does happen again I`ll try to get a new cable. Didn't know the cable is very sensitive.
September 10, 20223 yr I just had this issue on my own server. The cable I was using had corrosion on the pins at one end, and some clear plastic crap covering one pin on the other end. After swapping the cable, I'm seeing 1000mbps on the interface in the dashboard.
