I recently bought this AP off ebay as a start into networking. I connected the r710 to a GS1200-8HP switch from netgear through PoE on port 1. It works but at 100mbps. I googled for answers and tried changing cables, ports on the switch side, setting the ethspeed through CLI, forcing the r710 to AT mode which the switch supports but still port 1 refuses to go gigabit.
I bought an adapter and disabled PoE on the switch side and port 1 is still stuck at 100mbps. Here is the strange bit, since now its powered by DC, I can test port 2 which works at gigabit.
Has anyone encountered anything similar or know what i'm not doing right?
Thank you all
