Two of my ports have been reading at 100 mbps in the router interface, but run at 1 gb.

However they are both operating at faster speeds, as proven by a speed test run off my Ubuntu NAS.

Speedtest by Ookla
ISP: Verizon Fios
Idle Latency: 4.53 ms (jitter: 0.21ms, low: 4.28ms, high: 4.98ms)
Download: 853.13 Mbps (data used: 668.6 MB)
4.08 ms (jitter: 1.03ms, low: 2.44ms, high: 6.31ms)
Upload: 940.64 Mbps (data used: 1.1 GB)
4.25 ms (jitter: 0.39ms, low: 3.20ms, high: 15.04ms)

My nas is in port 3, and a 1gbit switch is connected to port 4, with among other things, connects to my main workstation, which gets similar speed test results.

I have tried switching ports, and cables already.

My router is older so I don't have that screen and not sure how it works, does that 100Mbps box change depending which port you click on? It is saying there is some sort of warning on those ports. Maybe post this in the merlin forum for better visibility.

Are all 4 ports connected? Some routers have the ports labeled backwards, so what you think are 3 and 4 may be 1 and 2.

Yes I've tried switching the port, and regardless my NAS, and switch always read 100mbps, when they are definitely giving me gigabit speeds. I've tried different ports, cat 5e, cat 6, factory cables, and even custom cables.

Some sort of bug, try asking in the merlin forum since that's the firmware you're using.
