WAC124 on port 2.5G runs in 100M speed
Hi,
When I connect Wac124 on 1G RJ45 port, all works with 1G speed but when I connect Wac124 on 2.5G port, WAC is detected with 100M speed. Any setting in order to works on 2.5G port : it should works with 1G speed.

Have you checked the cable?
It shouldn't matter since the 1 port works fine on it but maybe the 2.5g port has higher requirements to set 1g/2.5g speeds.
Try replacing the cable with a high quality cat 6 or greater cable.

Are we talking af a WAC124 here (four GbE LAN ports), not for example a WAX214?
Etiher way, we request moving this thread to the Business Wireless section.
- Yes I have WAC124.
2.5 source is Freebox Pop, see for example. https://www.inpact-hardware.com/article/1944/la-freebox-pop-v8-cote-technique
The cable to connect on 1G port or 2.5G: it's Cat7 cable approx. 7m length with a 30cm standard cable. Exact cable is LW Electronic Câble réseau Gigabit Haute qualité S/FTP PIMF 1000MHz Cat7 4x2xAWG23 LSZH Câble d'installation blindé 50m Orange https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B077XMQMPC/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_i_B49FWZSX57N29Q81P9FX?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
