WAX630 LAN ports max out at 100Mbps
The primary ethernet port on this device maxes out at 100Mbps. The LED's have always been orange, not green (1Gbps). I've tried multiple switches, upgraded firmware, resetting device, but it won't ge...
Just wondering - cos I am having similar issue on my WAX630E: When you say "speed is better now", does that mean you are up to 2.5gbps on that port or that it is just more than 100mbps? Cos my port won't go faster than 1g on that port (#1). It has been plugged into two switches (one of them netgear multi-gig and it still won't).
Also, did you do a factory reset, then upload your saved "backed up current settings"?
TIA

Bump on this issue, I've got a WAX630 (not an E) with the same issue. Plugged into the 10g port on a M4300-52G-PoE+ ProSAFE with no luck. Initially I thought that was due to the injector that I had (10g port is not PoE so I need an injector) got a new Trendnet 10g PoE++ 90w injector but same deal. Tried to force it to 2.5g in the switch but it is telling me that 2.5g cannot be forced over copper, yet it lets me force 10g no problem.All Cat 6, two short cables or long cables same deal. Even tried the second 10gb port on the switch. Anyone have any ideas? Still in the first week or two of getting both of these so I'm about to toss in a ticket to Netgear if you guys don't have any immediate thoughts.
Edit:
Factory reset was completed, also tried configuring the AP in the web UI instead of Insight. On firmware V10.6.1.1
Much appreciated,
Joe
No doubts about the link speed negotiation, please allow to throw in my two (or three) Cents here:
1. I can't see any proof when reading the specs and data sheets of the TPE-319GI (Version v2.0R) that the injector does support anything different from 1 x 10GBASE-T port (data) and 1 x 10GBASE-T PoE+ port (data + power), plus (probably!) simple 1 GbE over Cat5e Cabling. No signs of Multi-Gig (2.5G and 5G) in sight. Not the first (and certainly not the last) device not able to deal with these MultiGig link speeds.

2. Absolutely correct: Ethernet on copper link speed must be auto-negotiated mandatory, and are not allowed to be fixed as per the IEEE specs.
Still a little bit buffed why the WAX630 does not want to negotiate to 1G (GbE) on the M4300-52G-PoE+ front 100/1000/10G BASE-T RJ45 ports. Something for Netgear support to look into on both the WAX630 and the M4300-52G-PoE+.
3. Note: 2.5G (of 5G) is out of scope on the two front ports:
