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...

A few questions have never been answered but been asked (more than once sometimes).
- What switch is it? brand and model
- Does it connect at 2.5g if you move the satellite in the same room as the router and wire it directly to it. Its pointless to troubleshoot the router/satellite if its either the wiring or the switch. And vice versa (not connecting at 2.5gig router---sate direct). So we need to rule out a few things.
