Hi, my Pineapple Tetra only negotiates 100 Mbit when i plug it in to a switch 😕 I am hoping some one here can help me figure out why ?

When I plug my Tetra in to a switch, or my PC (using the RJ45 ethernet on the Tetra and a RJ45 plug on the PC), then the link negotiates at only 100 mbit (I testet with both a switch and pc that are capable of running 1000 mbit with the same result where the Tetra negotiate only 100 Mbit) - I can also see that the LED above the RJ45 ethernet connection (at the Tetra) is orange (indicating 100 Mbit)

When I plug in something else in to my PC or the same port in the switch that i tested the tetra with before it negotiates fine with anoter device at 1000mbit so I do not think the problem resides on the switch / PC side.

When I SSH to the tetra and run the ethtool eth0 it cant show the speed (for unknown reasons) where as the eth1 (i think that is the LAN connection via the USB cable that is part of the bridge device br-lan) shows negotiations of 100mbit full duplex (see output of commands below - the tetra hostname has been renamed to gateway)

# WAN:

On the PC where the eth0 is the WAN interface connected via a 10 cm ethernet cobber cable (cat 6e):

# PC WAN:

norman@router:~$ ethtool eth0
Settings for eth0:
    Supported ports: [ TP ]
