Sorry. yeah was on my way home super late and fell asleep. Its definately 1Gb.
Arp Lookup
Mac Address lookup on switch
Switch Port is def 1gb. Port right under it is 100 Mb as an example.
Genuinely happy for you to have escaped this issue. I had mine on wifi when the OS update that killed it rolled out, because I couldn’t run a cable to that part of my house, so I didn’t notice until a couple of years after the fact. Even booting Linux or Windows it was still stuck at 100Mbps. There used to be a lot more threads on the Apple forums and they inevitably ended in people being content to just buying external thunderbolt adapters to get the speed back.
Was it ever just flagged as a bug, or some intentional planned obsolescence on the part of Apple?
I will likely need to upgrade this mac at some point. May just make it a server for plex or something. I purposefully bought it because its literally the last user serviceable Mac on the market.
I think there are some workarounds to get past the “supported OS” thing using something like this: https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/
Though at this point, i No longer use it on the greater internet. its mostly just for me to record music with. I probably dont even need it on network anymore.
