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 work...

Ok, so we can assume the cabling is workable, permitting the same physical cabling is in use. Could still be some patch cable or contact issue however.

What is on the other end, the switch with the 2.5G port, where the WAC124 is connected to? Make, model, firmware please.
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=1Because of Gigabit works, the cable is almost certainly OK (and ways over the required specs for MultiGig btw.).
YeZ unclear where we should start here - could well be a problem with the named box, too.
