#ZimaBoard+CasaOS issues with transfer speed

I set up my ZimaBoard a couple days ago to use as a media server with plex. I have it hooked up to a 4tb barracuda drive. Updating it and setting up plex went fine. I set up a shared folder and used network share to access it on my windows pc but the transfer speeds are horrible, often less then 1MBs. And even then the connection is unstable, half of the time it just errors out after a while. The issue persists even if I try uploading using the webui. The connection is with a cat6 network cable so its not an issue with that. I checked my router status and saw that it was only running at 10M while the port right next to it was at 1000M for a gaming PC. I tried swapping the ports but it did nothing. I'm not the most knowledgeable about server stuff(thats why I got the board in the first place) but is there a reason why its only using 10M when it has gigabit ports and a proper cable? Is there anything else I can do to troubleshoot this?

zimaboard There are two NICs, are both only 10m connections? Usually, it is recommended to get a different cable and try to connect a different network port.

The first thing I did was try different cables, no change there. I just tried the different port and that didnt help.

Both Ethernet ports are 10M?

Yea. I was able to solve the problem. I had it plugged into a wall port and for whatever reason the wire going through the wall was stuck at 10M while all the other wall connections were 1000M.

Thanks for the help!
