Does Vortexbox support 1GB network speed?

Is it connected to a another gigabit device or to a 100Mb device? Mine is connected to a Gigabit router and the auto negotiated speed is 1000MB/s.

Usually this is a problem with the router or the cabling. If your cabling it not perfect the switch will fall back to 100mb.

It is connected to Buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH router which has 1GB switch. I'll try with a new cat 6 cable.

It was an issue with a cheap network cable. It's working at 1gb speed now.
