Is there a way to see the real TX rate of the Ethernet LAN connection to the AE TC? Similar to the WiFi (Option key click over WiFi icon)? I can seen only the Links speed - 1000Mbps (which is in general), bit cannot see the real connected (TX analog ) speed.

If the link speed is 1000baseT then the real connected speed to the device at the other end is 1000baseT. There is nothing general about the link speed.

Activity Monitor.app has a network section that has a data sent/received graph/numerical output, you could try that.

Agree that the speed is 1000Mb/s, that's a wired network, no signal strength issue like the Wi-Fi does.

However, your actual upload / download speed may limited by something else. e.g. ISP, NAS disk speed, etc.
