Backhaul 1 gb not 2.5gb
I have an 870 system. One satellite. When I connect the satellite to my switch, it connects at 1gb. The switch and my network is 2.5gb.
The ports are all supposed to be 2.5gb but I am not seein...

How far is the satellite from the switch?
Is it practical to try another cable?

Too far to try that, but I will move the satellite close and ensure it works with a known short cable. It could be the wiring in the walls but it is less than 100 feet and should fine. Other devices are using the built in wiring without difficulty.
