X5000R - 100Mbps on 1000Mbps Ports

In a few test, my download speed test is 90~100 but ISP or if I connect cable directly on my computer, speed test is 500...

Install ethtool and check the supported link speeds that are reported. It would be good to see a comparison of the ethtool output on 21.02 vs 19.07.

Although this is clearly a different target platform, I have reported a bug that affects the WAN/uplink port on 2 known ath79 devices -- take a look at the relevant thread for that situation.

Thanks for reply...
A Buy this router to directly install OpenWRT, and the first action is change firmware to OpenWRT;
After change firmware back to OEM, the same problem occurs...

Now, I go to TOTOLink support to search a solution, after this, I'm try again!

Thanks

Check your cables and ports to make sure they are all physically working properly.

I can't believe it...

The cable I used on my pc, which comes from the switch, is a cat5e!
I took this cable and put it on Wan...

the Cable that came with the router is a cat5e (written on the cable), I used it to connect from the router to my pc...

So cables are OK...
but not....

After replacing the one that came with the router for a cat7...

Everything is ok... speed tests match what was before...

So, all right... problem is the cable that came with it...
Thank you for your help!

Cheapest cat5e can support gigabit, 5e just rated for gigabit. The matter only distance, i've been using 5e for even 10gig connections. If cable is copper, not CCA or CCS, it will work for a 15-20meters/10gig. Your 5e cable probably is broken, using cat7 is just a money waste, pure money waste..
also note, some cat7 rated cable is not a copper lol, about 99.9% cat 7 cables from aliexpress is not a copper)

really very strange... on the cable this print is cat5e, but visually the tests will prove that it is not... this cat7 is one of aliexpress... and the cat5e that comes from the switch is one of excellent quality...

ok, now take the 2nd, 3rd... and set up a network with fast roaming...

thanks
