        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
        port0:
        	pvid: 1
        	state=8<FORWARDING>
        	flags=1<CPUPORT>
        	media: Ethernet 1000baseT <full-duplex>
        	status: active
        port1:
        	pvid: 4092
        	state=8<FORWARDING>
        	flags=0<>
        	media: Ethernet autoselect (none)
        	status: no carrier
        port2:
        	pvid: 4091

            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?

                  Yeah that really should be auto..

                    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?

                      @johnpoz That's the internal link to the CPU, it's fixed.

                          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?

                                          The ports on the 1100 are all connected via the on-board switch chip. It loads default values when it powers up so you might try a full power cycle (actually pull the power lead).

                                          The only thing I could imagine would be physical damage to one or more pins in the port. Gigabit requires all 8 connections but the link negotiation only uses 4 pins. Some devices will link at 1G when they have lost some connections but then fail to pass traffic.

                                            @stephenw10 Actually it make sense, so how can I verify if all 8 bins are faulty or working and to second you yup my switch is a gigabit switch. I have taken the below pic IDK if it would makes any difference the LAN has the two led light on and the opt only one light.
