Wireless AP

All of the sudden we had an AP alert with a degraded ethernet link. I have plugged the AP into other ports, switches, and bounced the ports but will not transfer more than 100Mb. However, when I plug another AP (or any other device) in the same port it allows 1GB. I have tried a reset of the AP with no success. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Did you also check the cable...if not try using a different cable.

Besides the cable like @rwiesmann said, you would need to call support and they can RMA. With a factory reset, and the elimination of the port as the issue, you’ve likely proved a hardware issue that will require replacement.

I appreciate the feedback. We are waiting to hear back from support to see what they have for the next steps.

Hi sflitcraft,

Welcome to Meraki Community 🙂

Is the issue only happening on this specific AP?
For how long did you try the factory reset - can you try for at least 35 seconds?
Have you tried connected the AP directly to the switchport (bypassing patch panels) with a brand new cable?
Have you tried forcing negotiating 1GB on the switchport? Did it work?
Have you upgraded the APs to the latest stable firmware version?

Please, keep in mind that this alert could take approx. 15-20 min to disappear after negotiated the speed as expected.
