And here I am struggling to get gigabit Ethernet over brand new cat6 cabling with devices bought in 2025…

Over what distance? Sounds like something is broken… Sure all the pairs are punched down in the right order, cables aren’t crushed, etc.?

I’ve had 2.5GbE running over old in-wall Cat5 in old buildings on short to medium (15-30m) runs with no issues…
