          what is your exact system? FTTH / DOCSIS / VDSL :-)
          I expect something like this from you: ISP ONT or modem + ISP router + etc.

            A blank WAN tab means it doesn't work for you

                  fiber to rj45 adapter = ISP ONT???
                  Do you have a router supplied by your ISP?

                    Look on Interfaces > WAN, not status.

                          Those can be either fixed 1000baseT (or 100 Mb on older gear) or auto. Your ISP should tell you.

                              That doesn't make sense. Perhaps a screen capture of the Interface > WAN page would help.

                                  Restart the WAN interface, then what do you see in the logs?

                                    That indicates a 100 Mb connection. If that's all you're getting, then perhaps you should be talking to your ISP. In the mean time, that screen capture I asked for would help.

                                      It is even conceivable that you do not see media type but no IP addresses with MAC data ....... it's weird

                                          so the problem was a long cable between the ONT and the PF (20 m)
                                          because when i connected it to a meter cable i got 1000 mb line

                                          still now i get speed of 300mb but that is identical to the isp router and an asus a68 router

                                          thank you

                                            When you showed 94 Mb, I had thought about a bad cable, as that can cause a connection at 100 Mb, instead of 1 Gb. However, I suspect you still have some hardware issues, as even plain CAT5 is good for 100 M at 1 Gb. Again, verify what the connection is supposed to be. Should it be autoconfig? Or do you have to set it to 1 Gb full duplex?
