Re: No Gigabit Ethernet

Change your cable.
What are you connecting to?  Does it support 1000Base-T?
Change your cable.

For a quick check, your 1000Gb/sec uses all four pair in the RJ45 connectors.  If each end does not have 8 wires it cannot work.  Just because there are four pair is no guarantee it is not the cable.

Full disclosure.  Cables are the bane of my existence
