Ethtool cannot advertise speed 1000 on 20.04LTS r8168

By Emma Johnson

I recently faced an ethernet issue where I was stuck on a "wired connecting" loop, I was able to fix it, but now am unable to use gigabit ethernet. I know that it is supported by the cable and the system, as I was able to use it before and even in output of sudo ethtool enp1s0, it shows

`Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Full
Supported pause frame use: Symmetric Receive-only
Supports auto-negotiation: Yes
Supported FEC modes: Not reported
Advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Full
Advertised pause frame use: Symmetric Receive-only
Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes
Advertised FEC modes: Not reported
Link partner advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Full`

Not sure what to do, I purged and reinstalled r8168 dkms as well but no luck. In nm-connection-editor, when i change to speed 1000 and full duplex, as well as manual and auto negotiation, nothing happens, shows "connected-100mbps"
