Is 2.5 MultiGigabit just a cisco thing, or fine in a 10G port ?
Cisco Meraki access points show as having options of
1 × 2.5 Gbps Multigigabit Ethernet port
1 × 5 Gbps Multigigabit Ethernet port
Do these play happily with a 10G netgear port on an M4300 series switch ?
or will the netgear only do 10G or 1G speeds on the port and not these
intermediate speeds ?

Hi,
Multi-Gigabit Ethernet (2.5GBASE-T and 5GBASE-T) requires Multi-Gigabit Ethernet support on the port for the switch. 10GBASE-T ports are not always capable of doing Multi-Gigabit Ethernet, sometimes they only can do 100BASE-T, 1000BASE-T and 10GBASE-T as stated in the M4300 datasheet.
Two M4300 models offer Multi-Gigabit 100M/1G/2.5G/5G/10GBASE-T support on their 10G copper ports: the M4300-96X and the new M4300-16X.
For your access points, you should select one of these two switches for Multi-Gigabit speeds.
I hope this helps,
