Checking Gigabit on FWG

Even though I have a 500Mbps connection, the best speed I'm getting is 100Mpbs from almost every device. I want to make sure that I have proper cabling supporting Gigabit between my ISP and Firewalla Gold, as well as between FWG and my Switch.

I cannot see find a way on the app to show if I am connected at Gigabit or 10/100 connections on these interfaces. Where should I be looking?

  If you are getting 100mbit, the probability is likely something in the middle is negotiating 100mbit ...  Usually, to look at the speed, you can just look at the link light, https://help.firewalla.com/hc/en-us/articles/1500000091181-Ethernet-Port-Lights

  The negotiating 100mbit usually can be fixed by just pull the cable and re-inserted it.  (and also make sure your ethernet cable is gigabit ... we have seen so many times ... so many times, people use the wrong cable)

  Thanks- would be awesome if you could also show this in the app (Network section) using the similar colors as the link lights. My Firewall is sitting in a box behind a wall mount which makes it a tad bit difficult to reach.
