I installed Tomato firmware and noticed that in the "Status: Overview", the WAN port is only getting 10M half (yellow color on the left, blinking green on the right).

I tried unplugging the Cat5E cable and switch over (the end connecting to router change to Huawei and vice versa) I'll see that the WAN will be 1000M Full. But after a while it'll drop back to 10M half. After changing the Cat5E cable to Cat6, there's still no improvements.

May I know if there's any settings that I may have tweaked wrongly to cause this problem? Will this cause a significant loss in available bandwith?

With wired connection, last time with the stock firmware I can get from 160Mbps to 180Mbps. But now I can't get past 100Mbps.

I remembered reading somewhere, the stock firmware has hardware acceleration.

Can't help much as I'm using N15U toastman tomato on 100mbps only.

Perhaps you might need to flash back to stock and RMA? Port could be damaged
