No gigabit!

rrosendahl:
I'm at a loss here: I am not able to connect a PC to the DIR-655 using gigabit Ethernet.
I have tried 3 different PCs, all with different gigabit NICs and none of them connected at gigabit speed.
I read that the cable may be the reason, so I upgraded to CAT6 to be on the safe side (20 ft). No change.
I tried forcing gigabit speed on the router, but even if I set it to WAN speed 1000 Mbps, I only get 100.
In Win7, if I force the NIC driver to use 1000 Mbps, the PC is not able to successfully connect and tells me "network cable is unplugged" after a few tries
The only other device active on the network is a gigabit NAS, also using CAT 6.
I'm not sure what else to try. Any ideas? (I'm on 1.33NA firmware.)

EddieZ:
When your cables are home-made you might be using the wrong or incomplete cable pairs in your RJ45 connector.

Odd chance your DLink is defective, so you might ask for RMA.

rrosendahl:
Those were highly rated, new commercial cables, so that's most likely not it.

EddieZ:
What NIC's were used (I assume with updated drivers)?

rrosendahl:
Didn't look into the details, but they're 2 brand new laptops (Lenovo & Dell) as well as a MacBook. The Dell I'm also using at work and it does 1 gigabit even over a cheap CAT5.
