    Gigabit Network, NOT running at gigabit speeds!

    Yeah i'm almost certain its the quality of the cable. It says 6e on the cable but it seems fragile to the touch (aka when you bend the cable close to 90 you see white. like its about to tear. It just boggles me how it is solid wire but perhaps it is not a solid grade of copper.

    You might be right. There probably are a couple of sharp turns as well so ill look into it. Anyways thank you very much for the help. I will post an update if I find the root cause.

    Gigabit Network, NOT running at gigabit speeds!

    I see what you mean. I am certain I have cabled corrected as i did it twice. however from all your help I see that the problem is definitely the cable as my PC is fine and so is the router. I will try re-cabling another cable with T568B. Do you think running cable inside a duct system could...

    1) Yes I have, however the cables I tried were all T568B so im going to try a T568A right now. never mind it worked with T568A too. 2) Yes, but also the cable checker checks each pair so if one pair was not in the right spot you would not see all 8 pairs light up.

I know this because I have a cable tester and all the pairs came up on it as connected. As I previously mentioned that I tried it with only my cable...

    Gigabit Network, NOT running at gigabit speeds!

    This is a really tricky issue ... basically we have a TP-LINK router that is confirmed gigabit with 4 cables to which are all cat5e cables. The cable run isnt more then 20 ft for each cable either. I have confirmed that all the pairs are working in my cable and when I set my computer to gigabit...
