Hub Ethernet Ports Capped at 100Mbps?

[geolas]

I've got the Sky Broadband Hub on a 500Mbps FTTP connection.

I'm getting the full 500Mbps on Wi-Fi, which is great. But the Ethernet ports seem to be capped at 100Mbps.

Is this right? It seems really strange.

I've read some old posts saying it's a software limit. Is there any way to upgrade the software to get 1000Mbps speeds?

Thanks!

@geolas No, as you are getting Full speed over wireless then the Wan Port 4 must be running at the full 1Gb/s port speed or you would NEVER achieve that over wireless wi-fi, the only oops on Ethernet would be if you have a 100Mb/s switch or a PC etc that has not negotiated the full Ethernet port speed. You can also look on that Broadband Hub at the lan section with the web manager 192.168.0.1 and check that you have not set the Fast Ethernet option, that may clamp all your other Lan ports down at the 100Mb/s speed also!

The devices connected on wired to the hub, both agree what to set the port speed too, also a 4 wired Ethernet cable will drop the speed back  and you always need the 8 Eight cores to get Gb/s speeds, One bad connection on a cable, bad Ethernet jack plug etc can do that!!!
