How do I get this modems Ethernet port to operate at it’s rated speed of 1Gbps?
I didn’t see any configuration setting for this when I logged into it.
Or is this SB6190 only capable of 100Mbps on the port?

You shouldn’t to change it’s configuration, but there are many factors at play here.
- Who is your ISP?
- What is the plan speed from your ISP?
- Does your ISP actually support that speed on a DOCSIS 3.0 device? Some will and some won’t.
- How are you testing the speed? Are you using a PC connected via ethernet directly to the SB6190 for initial test? Are you using Speedtest or some other utility? If using Speedtest, are you running it locally (best approach) or in a browser (less accurate/slower)? Does the network interface card on you PC support gigabit speeds, or is it 10/100?
With a little more data, hopefully we can identify the real root cause here.
