The gigabit connection is working slow and the colour is orange, when the gigabit is working fine is the green colour. I have a nvme as a hdd and this are the write/read speed:

zital@vf2 ~> sync; dd if=/dev/zero of=testfile bs=128M count=8
8+0 records in
8+0 records out
1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB, 1.0 GiB) copied, 3.91865 s, 274 MB/s
zital@vf2 ~> dd if=testfile of=/dev/null bs=1M count=1024 iflag=direct
1024+0 records in
1024+0 records out
1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB, 1.0 GiB) copied, 4.05676 s, 265 MB/s

I did the same test for the orange pi and works fine:

zital@s-400 /tmp> rsync -avzhP --delete /tmp/a/ pi@opi5:/tmp/a/
sending incremental file list
created directory /tmp/a
./

hi, zital
I just conducted a test on my VF2.I have two local area networks, 100Mbps and 1G, at home, My VF2 has both gigabit network interfaces, When a gigabit network is connected, the light is orange, and when a 100Mbps network is connected, the light is green. Both network interfaces are the same. I didn’t test the speed of VF2’s network.
I heard that some VF2s have one 100Mbps and one Gigabit.
The system I use for my VF2 is Debian2409pro (debian13 testing).

@lzzhzh thanks for reply, yesterday somewhere I read that is a ssl problem, and I tested with a http download and works fine:
