Home network speed negotiation

[demon667]

I had a big irritating issue in my home network since I moved into my new apartment earlier this summer. The installment in the walls of cables are all thick CAT6A cables and so are the keystones in my hallway *redirector* box which consists of room port numbers 1-12 (each room has 2 RJ-45 ports) and 1-7 wich consists of the other keystones of which I can choose to cable whatever so to say.
I must say that i've had one bottleneck earlier which I corrected and that was that I had CAT5e cables to my router and to my PC so of course I went ahead and bought CAT7 cables to match up with the same level as my wall cables have more or less. My router is a Linksys WRT1900ACS V2, my PC motherboard is ASRock 990FX Extreme9 which has the Intel 82583V nic. My broadband is 250/250 Mbit/s.

Now that everything in the apartment in general seems clear of faults I just wonder what's causing my router to CAP my speed to the "10/100 Mbit/s" limitation.
What is the cause and how can this be fixed? Is it perhaps a common problem with that routers model?

Can you check order of colored wires inside cables? You can see those through jacks usually.

I would check on your NIC settings and disable Energy Efficient Ethernet to start and see if that helps.

I went and photographed the internet cable (white) both sides and my new CAT7 cable (grey) for you :).

Energy saving always been off and speed duplex is set at 1.0 Gbps Full Duplex.

Done. Upload limit 20mb so I had to split then of 2 and 2.

Oh, sorry, didn't realize they could be there... Okay, wires look normal. And in correct order...

Incorrect.

The second picture has only 4 wires. 8 wires are needed for gigabit.

The first picture is also missing a wire. I only count 7 of 8.

Can you take another picture because this definitely does not look like 8

If there were 4 wires, they would be on 1st, 2nd , 3rd, and 6th places...

There are not 8 wires in this picture

My eyesight might not be perfect but I know there aren't 8 here

You forget...

If there wouldn't be 8 wires, Gigabit wouldn't even show up. Pic from OP's first post.

To OP...

@demon667 , try different cables. If issue persists, then look into settings of switch and router.

IMO, issue might be with the cable being done in wrong way.

This might sounds odd but I came to think of my PC network adapter and what that may trigger towards the connection to the router and the specifics that came to mind were 

Receive Buffers and Transmit Buffers and i've always had both of those set to 512 so I changed them both to 1024 and the router hasn't yet reverted to the poor negotiation.
