Hi guys, I've noticed a few times now that I've had slow network speeds (onboard nic) coming from my xpenology machine - when I check its only the connection is often at 100mbps not gigabit - if I restart the machine I get gigabit again for a while. Any ideas what I could be encountering?

I suspect the Ethernet lead has some damage and the NIC is dropping the speed to try and reduce the volume of packets that are rejected at the switch/router as unreadable (or it not being able to understand what it's receiving from the switch/router).
