Netgear WN2000RPT Ethernet Speed
I am trying to use WN2000RPT v1 with my computer connected using Cat-6 ethernet cable. The problem is that my computer Ethernet always negotiates 100MBPS link with WN2000RPT. However, if I connect m...
yes, it does not work. If I force 1gbps, link never goes UP with WN2000RPT. I already mentioned that no issues with Nighthawk so there is no issue with computer setup. It's something to do with WN2000RPT
are WN2000RPT ethernet ports 1GBPS? If yes, any pecularities ?
I've done some reading, and had to go back to some old Cisco terminology here to see your answer. After looking all over the place for numeric information regarding the interface I'm seeing that the ports on the WN2000RPTv2 are titled "Fast Ethernet Ports". In Cisco lingo, and the majority of the network platforms this becomes a Fa port in CLI.
Fa ports are not Gi ports. In otherwords, I would suspect that this is a 100Mbps interface. When you see 1000Mbps on the otherside I would suspect that it's either cosmetic, or incorrectly assuming a speed negotiation.
I though so as I also designed switches for Lucent, however this doc mentions 1000mbps interface

Interesting, this is pretty strange for sure. It's definitely not wanting to negotiate for some reason. Wonder if the NIC doesn't like the way it talks to the computer. Brand issue perhaps?
