Similar escenario here.

My configuration:


- 2 ISPs 500/300 

- Cat 7 cable from both ISP modems to an ER7206 (Hardware ver v1.0, Firm. 1.4.1 Build 20240117 Rel.57421)

- Cat 6 cable (5 mts) from ER7206 (port 5) to main Deco 5 (router mode)


Tried everything (even factory-resseting all dispositives), nothing worked at all, just fake temporal 1000mbs that suddenly drops and caps to 100mbs ad hoc.

Reset all one more time, set the Deco to AP, estable at 1000mps so far, let's see how it goes.
 

Side note, what a waste of money if I cannot give the actual use to the Deco, several other options for way better speeds on the AP side.

  @Henalbrod I feel you. That's what I'm experiencing with the Deco as the main router. Under Access Point, I haven't experienced a wired ethernet slowdown that's connected to the same switches.

 

It's definitely a TP-Link bug that needs to be addressed.

It is, BTW port goes back to 1000mbs just switching the Deco and my laptop on the very same cable during couple seconds (Deco, laptop, back to Deco), suddenly and with no further changes, the Deco starts delivering full speed again.

Hi, what is the negotiation speed and also actual internet speed when connecting a computer to the internet cable directly?

 

Besides, the internet cable comes from your ISP directly or there is a wall port? If there is a wall port, you may try different Cat6 or higher Ethernet cables as well.

  @Kevin_Z I have an AX50 router, bought about two months ago. In the beginning, the problem was intermittent, but now it is permanent.

 

I checked the firmware, it is up to date (1.0.14 Build 20240108 rel.42655).

 

My router does not have the internet negotiation speed setting available?!

 

 

I have also been using the exact same cable for many different applications, and they all have been able to sustain 1000Mbps without any issues. The WiFi 5G network has full internet speed connectivity, it is JUST the one port that keeps defaulting to 100Mbps!

 

I'm out of options and getting pretty frustrated, since I initially bought the new router not because the old one stopped working, but because I decided it's time to upgrade my WiFi capabilities. Now I'm regretting my choice!

  @Marvin_S 

Firstly, thank you for all of the advice on these threads, it has helped me solve the problem (temporarily) and get back to my actual 1Gbps limit as below.

 

I have Archer AX50 but the problem is I run a Ethernet cable from the AX50 to another room where it goes into a NETGEAR 8 Port Gigabit Network Switch.  Connected to the switch I have 8 devices some of which run at 1Gbps and some at 100Mbps.  The problem seems to be that when all of the 1Gbps devices are switched off leaving just 100Mbps devices connected the AX50 decides that the port should step down to 100Mbps.... and when a 1Gbps device is switched on it is limited to 100Mbps. 

 

It seems the AX50 does not work correctly with switches in terms of port speed negotiation.  It can only cope with a single device plugged in to a single port.

 

Is there any way to force the AX50 to always use the 1Gbps option and not step down to 100Mbps?  I have turned off the auto negotiation and set it to 1000Mbps which I thought might help.

Hi, thanks for your update.

Your operation may be the best mothod. And you may keep monitoring the performance.
