I have an issue with my Access Points. I have 5 pieces of CISCO Meraki MR16 all running OpenWRT and connected by wire via switch to main OpenWRT router build on PC.
All Access points have their connection to internet speed limited to about 50Mb\s up and down. Masured on devices connected to AP as well as on AP itself (netperf) - no difference. 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz scores are the same.
Internet connection speed is symetrical 1Gb\s. All other devices connected to switch goes on full speed. Only Merakis have problem.
Eth speed is more about hardware and not firmware, both endpoints and cable must support the same speed.
If you have 100/1000 in one device and it chooses 100 then the other device or cable can’t handle more than 100.
But that alone doesn’t explain the speed around 50Mbps. It could be that it runs half-duplex instead of full duplex.
Can you bring one of the merakis directly to your switch and test with a patch cable that is known to support 1Gb/s, or check with another device at the ethernet wallplug usedby the merakis? Maybe the problem is in your wirings. If one of the cables is not correctly wired at the wallplug, then usually you only see 100Mbit/s instead of 1Gbit/s.
Device mr16 not supported by this image Supported devices: meraki,mr16 mr16 - Image version mismatch: image 2.0, device 1.0. Please wipe config during upgrade (force required) or reinstall. Reason: Partitions differ from ar71xx version of MR16. Image format is incompatible. To use sysupgrade, you must change /lib/update/common.sh::get_image to prepend 128K zeroes to this image, and change the bootcmd in u-boot to "bootm 0xbf0a0000". After that, you can use "sysupgrade -F". For more details, see the OpenWrt Wiki: https://openwrt.org/toh/meraki/mr16, or the commit message of the MR16 ath79 port on git.openwrt.org. Invalid image type. Image check failed.

I tried cat5e and cat6 cables even cat6 25cm long cable of course ready to use not made by my own.
