      @raadms did you happen to hard code the speed/duplex?

      On the actual interface. Or via ifconfig you can tell

      When you change from your AP to switch or PC, are you using the same cable as your AP is using or a different cable. Are you sure this cable is good, ie you have used it on another connection and works fine for gig?

        nope I did not hard code the speed/duplex as all ports are sets to default. and yes i have tried more than one cable actually i tried even the AP's cable, and no luck.

          and when i connect my switch to the opt port it works fine. is it a hardware issue?? but if it is then how come it works perfect with the AP.

            And here when it is connected to my AP:

            What do you have connected to the OPT port in that shot? It's linked at 100M.

            Because all the interfaces are switch ports on the 1100 they should all be identical. It also means you should use etherswitchcfg to see the actual port speed, like:

            [22.01-RELEASE][admin@1100-3.stevew.lan]/root: etherswitchcfg
            etherswitch0: VLAN mode: DOT1Q

            	state=8<FORWARDING>
            	flags=1<CPUPORT>
            	media: Ethernet 1000baseT <full-duplex>
            	status: active
            port1:
            	pvid: 4092
            	state=8<FORWARDING>

            	flags=0<>

                Again - what cable are you using? You sure the cable is good? When you swap the connection from your AP to something that is not working - what cable are you using exactly?

                  @johnpoz I sued the same cable used connected to my AP, I disconnected it from the AP then connected to my switch didn't work and connected to my PC didn't work as well

                    this what I got when running the command i see port1 is different although I could not recall changing it. could it be the reason?

                        It's set to autoselect and it's negotiated 100M-FD with the connected device, the TV I assume.

                        That's expected.

                        If port 2 won't negotiate with anything but the AP you could switch the VLAN assignments with port1 or just reassign OPT to VLAN 4091.

                        What devices do you need to connect there?

                        Has this just failed after working previously?

                              I have changed the interfaces and same behavior on Lan port it is only working with the AP or any other routers not accepting switches nor PCs.

                              Again I appreciate all your supports @stephenw10 @johnpoz @Gertjan much appreciated

                                Ok so it's the physical port labelled LAN is seeing this no matter which interface is assigned to it?

                                  yes exactly it is teasing. I would say it is a hardware issue but how come it works with routers and APs. I am wondering what is the root cause. so, any ideas what do you think might casing such an issue.

                                    Mmm, indeed the ports are identical as far as I know or should be at least. Hard to see how it would fail to link on one port only.

                                    What is the history here? Was it working previously?

                                    Can you use that port as the WAN interface?

                                      Actually no history behind it. I bough the device like way back everything was fine. But I was not able to use it due to connectivity issue where my home was running on 5G internet and not able to make the 5G router as a bridge mode. So I stored the device back on the cabinet till this year where I got my fiber internet and I am able to make me sg1100 get the public my IP. It was working fine back on Jan this year I connect my LAN to my pc and configured it then hooked it to my AP since then. Yesterday I got my switch and find out that the LAN only works when I connect router or AP.

                                      And I have not used that port as wan I will try it.

                                      Thank you,

                                        @stephenw10 so is there a way to flush these ports or is it possible to change the network card on te SG-1100?

                                          I'm not sure what you mean by 'flush' the ports.
                                          It's not possible to change the NICs in the 1100. They are all on the main board directly.

                                            @stephenw10 I mean if there is some sort of a special port format like hard reset?
                                            And is there a way to test the port by an external device like thermometer used for the electricity. Like a device to connect to it and check if there is any faulty components on the port?
