All WFH network 1GB except one segment is 100MB, puzzled.

I have checked the ports, ethernet setting etc and all report 1GB but one segment (garden office) still reports 100MB. Do a broad band test from there and you can see it. Is there a networking tool ...

    If the cable has failed, it could drop to 100mb, as this speed only needs two pairs.  1Gb needs all four pairs to work.  Both Cat 5e and Cat 6 are good for 1Gb at 100 meters distance.
