Negotiated speed and error rate verification between Mikrotik SFP+ and EAP773
Hello,
How can I verify that the EAP773 is negotiating the correct 10 Gbps speed with the Mikrotik SFP+ module and that there are no communication errors? The EAP773 is powered by a 12V 2.5A power adapter.
When connecting other EAPs to a standard PoE switch port, the link status is clearly visible. However, when using the SFP+ port, it only shows a 10 Gbps connection. I am currently testing the connection with a NAS, and the EAP arrives early next week. To check the link speed for the NAS, I can simply view it in the NAS administration interface. However, for the EAP773, there is no interface or status page in the controller where I can verify the PHY link speed for the SFP+ interface.
Hardware:
Switch: SG2210XMP-M2 v1
Controller: Omada OC220 v1
AP: EAP773 (presumably EU v1)
Firmware: Latest versions on all devices.
Thank you very much for your help.

Hello @GRL
thank you for your response. My main concern is how to easily check if the cabling is causing any issues. 10 Gbps is a significant transfer speed that places much higher demands on cabling than standard 1 Gbps. I also tried using the terminal (see screenshot), where I expected to find this basic metric, but it is not possible to check the speed there either. Checking in standalone mode is technically possible, but highly impractical.
Unfortunately, I have had a very poor experience with the previous EAP723, which was unable to maintain even 2.5 Gbps and kept dropping to 1 Gbps. That is why I am worried that the EAP773 might suffer from the same flaw.
