Gigabit PoE issue.
Im a big Tik fan. I have two a couple of these, speeds and coverage are great. Run toasty though!
However, to get rid of injectors and PSU's and power some other PoE dvices I bought a small Gigabit PoE switch DLink DSG1100-08P and the ports wont come up Gbit, only 100M which kind of defeats having AC speeds which I was getting with the supplied injectors and connected to my RB3011.
Anybody any experience? Tried alternative short cables. The installed runs are only 20m or so CAT5e If I run the cable test on the DLInk management interface it says only two pairs working. Mikrotik interface says link partner not advertising Gbit. I get Gigabit if I put a laptop or other Gbit device on the end of the cables, so pretty sure cables are good.
Update: Upgraded DLink Firmware, made no difference. Tried a non-poe Gigabit switch with supplied injectors and still only 100M. So the only time Im getting Gbit is when connected to ports on my RB3011. So looks like a compatibility issue which is a shame since I thought we'd seen the last of this type of issue with Mikrotik.
Update:
Im sorry for not updating this post until now but this turned out to be a really weird cable/RJ45 issue which I can only think was more critical with power involved since the same cable worked ok Gigabit with non-PoE devices.
Regarding the wAP AC - absolutely brilliant piece of kit. Performance is as expected and I am using CAPsMAN which takes a bit of getting your head around but makes total sense once you have. If you've not used it before and are thinking of using it for the first time on a client I would advise setting it all up back at base and having a good play. Not as pretty as Unifi of course but does pretty much the same but with highly granular control.
