This is what I get for being curious.

I’ll post my story about fixing a router here since I’ve been struggling with it for the past two weeks.
After much troubleshooting with my ISP, testing with a whole other computer that somehow managed to get a gigabit link I was confused at why my router was not getting a gigabit link from the wan. What ended up being the problem was a poor termination on one of the ethernet ports in the wall. If I had been able to think about it without stressing about the limited time to work on it, I would’ve realized that yeah that made sense because when I went straight from the ISP box into another computer I was able to get the giga bit link. Either way I re-terminated a good bit of my cabling and now I get a great link on my router. Here’s to 500 Mb per second in a 200 person town.
