Cannot negotiate gigabit speeds

[Ace0fSpades]

I have an Asus 1900 running Merlin 384.5. No matter what PC or laptop I plug into it, it only negotiates 100 mbps. I cannot negotiate gb speeds.
I am not to savvy with any of this. I am just learning. I would really appreciate your patience if I did not give enough info. Just ask and I will provide you with any information you may need.
Thanks in advance

It could be a faulty cable, try different Ethernet cables between the router and your PC.

It could be a damaged/dirty Ethernet socket on the router. Try plugging you cable into a different LAN port.

ColinTaylor,

Thank you for your reply. I have tried multiple cables in all 4 ports. I also tried multiple laptops and PC. I also have Mint XFCE installed dual boot with Windows 10, in case you were wondering about the OS I was using.

Have you tried doing a factory reset of the router followed by a manual configure?

I have done a factory reset, but as for manual configure, I'm not sure what you mean. Forgive me for my lack of knowledge.

ColinTaylor,
Thank you for your help. I did a factory reset again and now it's working fine. I appreciate your help!

After doing the factory reset and the router boots up, you input your desired settings (passwords, wifi names, etc.) by hand. You do not reload a settings file that you may have created previously.
