So I'm not alone 😄 My LED is at normal brightness during the orange and multicolour phases. I'm sure it was working fine when I first started using the gateway a couple of years ago. I'm on firmware 17.10.2 if that helps.

Thanks for your reply. Perhaps it's because this GX20 was a demo unit. I had problems with the post speeds being just 10mbps when I first set it up a couple of years ago. Cisco would not repair/replace it as it was a demo unit, so I bought another GX20 which I later replaced with a GX50. So this GX20 has been gathering dust for a while, but I recently set it up at my apartment in Jakarta. Surprisingly, it's now working perfectly apart from this small issue. It will soon go into the roofspace, so the LED issue will be irrelevent.

Can the brightness of the front LED on the GX20 be changed? When booting the brightness is normal when the LED colour is orange or when cycling through the multicolours. However, when it turns white it is extremely dim, so dim in fact that during the daytime it looks like the LED is unlit. I don't know if I changed a setting in the past, but I cannot find that setting now. I have already tried a factory reset. Does anyone know how to resolve this?

Yes, I have 3 APs directly connected to the GX20. The 4th port is connected to my main computer.

CISCO would not support my GX20 because I bought it off ebay and it was apparently an ex-demo unit. So I binned it and bought another from Amazon. Now on booting auto-negotiation speed sometimes drops from 2.5 Gbps to 100 Mbps, but restarting the adapter once or twice gets it back up to 1 Gbps. All-in-all I'm happy with the 250+ Mbps hard-wired and 300+ Mbps wireless speeds I'm getting.

Another strange thing I noticed is that the left port light remains green whether the connection is 1 Gbps of 10 Mbps. Also the right port light is always off and never blinks during network activity. I think I must have a dud. I will raise a support ticket.

I started my initial Meraki Go installation yesterday with initially a GX20 gateway. I will add three GR10 access points once my wired network is up and running. I have a 350/20 Mpbs Virgin Media Business Broadband connection. There won't be FTTP in this part of London for several years yet 😞 When my two computers are directly connected to my old router, I see speeds of about 400/20 Mbps on both. One is a decade old HP Z600 running Windows 10 Pro and the other is a newly built Intel NUC11TNBi7 motherboard installed in a fanless Akasa case running Windows 11 Pro. When I connect them to the GX20, The Z600 shows a speed of about 300/20, which is a bit better than I expected. However, I only see a speed of just under 10/10 Mbps with the NUC, no matter which port on the GX20 or Cat 6 cable I use. On closer inspection of the properties of my network card (Intel I225-LM), I see the speed is displayed as only being 10 Mbps instead of the 1.0 Gbps I was seeing when connected to my old router. When I check the link speed of the port on the GX20 in the Meraki Go app, this is also showing as only 10 Mbps. I have switched around cables with the same result. I also carefully cleaned each GX20 port with a clean soft brush, but there was no debris whatsoever as it is brand new. The NUC bios and its network card driver is up to date. I also tried changing the "Speed & Duplex" manually from Auto-Negotiation to 1.0 Gbps Full Duplex and then 2.5 Gbps Full Duplex, but the speed did not change. So, it seems the speed that is being negotiated between the GX20 and NUC is only 10 Mbps. Does anyone have any idea how to resolve this?
