Need to Turn on/off my Netgear Switch to work properly

Dear all,

 

I bougth a new Netgear gs105 switch for our company.

I have connected 2 device to it.

The main internet connection is ADSL for our internet provider.

 

My problmm: the switch works properly and I have internet connection. However the connection is lost several times during a week. Every time there it is lost, I turn off/on my Netgear devcie and the connection is again OK.

 

Could you please tell me what can I do to have a permanent connection without the need to turn off/ON the switch?

 

Thank you in advance

    Hi jackelbow,

     

    Welcome to the community! :)

     

    Let us isolate the problem.  Kindly answer the questions below:

     

    a. Is the GS105 connected directly to a router or a modem-only device?  Kindly state how everything is connected and it would be best to post a screenshot of your detailed network setup.

    b. What is the behavior of the port LED lights on the GS105 while its connected to the existing network?

     

    I look forward to your response.

     

     

    Regards,
