    An hour ago vodafone restarted my home router. Since the restart LAN port is 100Mbps instead of 1000Mbps, so effectively they imposed speed limit. The external speed is still 1000Mbps. Can someone verify it please?


    It's in "Status&Support->General information" of the roures page.

    Disconnect/reconnect didn't help. The other side is a high class router (turris omnia).

    U sure the cable is OK? Bad ether net cble can cause it to drop to 100. Try different port?

    It was OK for a last year. I'll connect another 1GB device on another cable in a few minutes to see if it makes any difference. I really hope it's just a software glitch not a speed limit.

    It has to be something else - I have expected speed on a short cable connected directly to the vodafone router. Case closed.

    Edit: router restart fixed it. Lesson learned: disconnecting LAN cable doesn't always mean resetting connection parameters.

    You looking at link speed, not capability.
    If you plug in device that is only capable(or purposely configured) to run 10 Mbps your picture would change accordingly.
    Check device you connecting, cable you using, cable properly plugged in - these are the factors that define link speed in this case. If you using 100Mbps only switch this would be result.

    smuggler.ie, thanks for the info! Yes, my downstream device is a gigabit device - it's Turris Omnia [1] and it was linked with 1000Mbps speed for months. What surprised me that after vodafone (gate) router reboot the link was established at 100Mbps. I had speed test results from March and it was OK, but today the link was hitting the 100Mbps limit.

    Router failed to negotiate link speed with client, perhaps...

    Sounds like they may have updated it, that could explain the switchport getting stuck in a strange state.
