Its management console says that the 4 LAN ports are configured to allow 1Gbps but my desktop is connected at 100Mbps. Ironically, my 10-year old NAS box is connected at 1Gbps. > auto/auto is what you want, It has been 15+ years since I have seen > any combination that actually needed to be hard set to work right.

I don't think the router end even allows you to set the speed (i.e. the setting it has is a cap). poc _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
