Hey all,
Recently picked up an RT-AC88U and noticed that no matter what I do, I can't get it to negotiate 1Gbps for any of the LAN ports. I upgraded from a (now dead) 68U that was flashed from T-Mobile junk back to vanilla and it worked fine for all four ports.
One of my two wired systems showed 1Gbps for a bit, then after I did some cable and port swapping to get the main system up to 1Gbps everything began negotiating at 100 Mbps. I've tried multiple Cat6 and a few Cat5e cables on different ports to no avail. I've also gone from the vanilla asuswrt firmware to Merlin 384.5 since that's what I had on the 68U and still no love.
One NIC is a Killer e2400 on a laptop, and the other is an Intel NIC.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Edit: After a reboot (6th or so) the Intel NIC shows as having a 1Gbps connection, the Killer e2400 still does not.
