(Fixed)Wired device connected to wired AP7 backhaul slow

I just got 2 AP7’s fired up this morning. My 2nd AP7 is on wired backup on the 10gb connection and has an Apple TV wired to the 2.5 connection. I get great wireless speed tests(just under 1g) from my IPad Pro, but the Apple TV that is wired can’t get above 100m. Other tests seem pretty good around the house so far, but I’m a little surprised at which of the 2 AP7’s some devices are connected to. Several devices are connected the AP furthest away.

 

I was impressed with the ease of setup and I’ve only been setup for about an hour and still playing.  I kept my SSID/pwd from previous AP’s to make things less painless to start and will slowly separate out from here.

    Are you using Apple TV's speed test? How old is your apple TV?

    I found this link, seems some apple TV may get stuck at 100mbit

    Yes, using the Speedtest.net app on the Apple TV.

    It’s a 4k model. Not the newest model, but it did get upper 900’s doing this same scenario with my TP-link Deco M9 Plus before swapping them for the AP7’s today.

    Networking 101 and back to basics. For some reason the same cat6 cable that was getting 1g from the Deco decided it was done. Swapped the cable and all is fine.

    That’s what I get for assuming I guess.😂

    Had similar issue. Primary AP was connected directly to the Firewalla Gold, connecting 10G connection got 2.5G connection (as seen on the app) but when connecting the 2.5G interface on the AP to the FW I only got a 1G connection. Did some troubleshooting, second AP worked fine when connecting to the FW but the original was only 1G. Opened a ticket and the Firewalla team did some troubleshooting, told me to reboot the primary AP and then got a 2.5G connection from the 2.5G interface on the AP. Not sure if/what they did. They were very quick to respond and super helpful.
