Could someone give ideas as to why my MikroTik RB750G would change its ethernet connection from 1Gbps to 100Mbps, causing all my network connections to drop instantly? I've now gone and forced it to 100Mbps
thanks kirshteins. I'll try to do some more comprehensive tests tonight.
Its a RB750G with ROS 4.4 and it was set to auto-negotiate. I've tried forcing it to 1Gbps, but then I weren't able to link at all.
Unfortunately I'm not that clued up on the cables. Its a 8 strand UTP cable that I was using for 100mbps over the last few years.
Also make sure you're using the T-568A or T-568B standard. You can run into interference problems on cables much shorter than 100m if you aren't using the proper pairs.
