RBR50+Voxel WAN connection capped at 100mbs

[lummux]

Not sure what's changed, but connection speed is now capped at 100mbs between my sb8200(amber) and the orbi. I've only been using Voxel's firmware a month or so, but after I flashed, my speeds were consistent with the OEM firmware (270+Mbs).

If I force eth0 to 1000, I get "Speed: Unknown!".
Orbi is directly attached to modem. Tried multiple cat5e cables that will connect other devices at 1G.

Just removed the orbi and connecting directly to the sb2000 gives me a 1G(green) link. So it really seems like it is the orbi port that is having the issue.

Just downgraded to oem V2.7.1.60. The wan port now connects @1G. I'll have to wait until later tonight to do a factory reset and flash to the latest voxel. If I do it now, then the whole house screams, "Is the internet down?"

Latest Voxel is based off of the NETGEAR 2.5.x code set; hence, do NOT flash Voxel if anything higher is installed.

You mentioned you have 2.7.x NETGEAR installed. DO NOT install Voxel 9.2.5.x! You will need to downgrade to stock NETGEAR 2.5.2.4 first.
