sevenz Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 (edited) 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, 2018 by sevenz Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Bad or loose cable? Quote Link to comment
pwm Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 It's very often caused by a bad network cable. Quote Link to comment
JonathanM Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 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. Quote Link to comment

I just changed it like a month ago because of the same problem. 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? Quote Link to comment

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. Quote Link to comment

Guess if it does happen again I`ll try to get a new cable. Didn't know the cable is very sensitive. Quote Link to comment
MuletTheGreat Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 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. Quote Link to comment
