       so it turns out I didn't crimp my ethernets well and now my NAS is locked to 100Mbpsthat explains so much actually

       I suppose my options are:learn to crimp cat6 (what's the difference??)buy premade cables (ugh extra length)

       @tendstofortytwo For simply home use, I wouldn't say there is a difference.  I crimp cat6 the same way I did cat5.

       @c64whiz yeah it seems like that's the case but then why does my cat6 cable only negotiate at 100Mbps when both sides support gigabit

       @tendstofortytwo @c64whiz it isn't necessarily cat5 vs cat6 but autoneg can be really touchy with suboptimally crimped cables. testers are frankly kind of useless for anything outside of "are the wires in the right order" and certifiers that actually do bandwidth testing are $$$

       okay I bought an premade cable and now I'm getting gigabitso it was just a bad crimp job on my part I guess?? cause there's other me-crimped cables in the chain but I didn't replace those
