If the AP shows as orange icon with messageLimited Uplink Speed 10/100Mbps, it indicates the uplink network currentlysupports 10/100Mbps transmission speed only.

The devices connect to the AP will face poor speed quality.

Recommended Checks and Actions

  • Check Network Cable: Ensure that the network cable connected to the AP supports 1Gbps transmission speed.
  • Check Connected Devices: Verify that the switch or router port to which the AP is connected supports 1Gbps.
