GS108PEv3 to WAX214 not providing internet
Hello everyone! I have a GS108PEv3 POE unmanaged switch set up. It receives internet from verizon FIOS and I can access the management page and see that the connection to the router is 1GBPS. ...
JeraldM Thank you for your follow-up!
I just wanted to update you: basically the end of the ethernet cable was no functional (a couple of wires had connection issues). This is what made the WAP see the connection as "10 MBPS" . The contractors (with a big ladder) came back and fix those cables that are running in the walls. Now the WAP sees "1GPBS" and the Netgear switch is all green led!
It was just weird luck that the cable was messed up enough to not provide internet, but still functional enough to provide power to the WAP.
Thank you!
Welcome to the community!
Do you have Internet connection when connecting a PC directly to the Ethernet ports of the GS108PEv3? Please check as well if the port LED is green or orange.
If it does have Internet connection, would it be possible to use that same cable and connect it to the WAX214 then set it up again?
Also, just to make sure, is the WAX214 running the latest FW (v2.1.1.3)?

What happens if you directly connect the AP to the Verizon gateway?
Unfortunately my FIOS G3100 does not support PoE and my WAP are only connected to the ethernet not a power adapter (they are set in the ceiling and I don' t currently have a way to take them down.)
