Admin Page of GS108Ev3 not acessible
Hi Guys, since years i am using 2 GS108Ev3 Switches in my homenetwork without any problems. The first directly connected to my Fritzbox. The second is in my livingroom with my whole homecinema equ...
Summary: After setting the speed on all Ports back to AUTO and rebooting both switches everything is back to normal again. File transfer speed around 100 MB/s

Only Fast Ethernet devices connected or wiring not allowing Gigabit Ethernet (e.g. to the other switch)? Something fishy...

The swith is found, when i select it i get asked for the password, but after entering the PW i get the error message that the swith and the manager IP are not in the same subnet. This is stange because the PC the manger is running on is DIRECTLY connected to the fritzboix switch through LAN....
Nothing strange - TCP/IP does require two systems on the same LAN to be in the very same IP subnet. It does not matter where the switch is connected to. To access the switch (assuming on it's default 192.168.0.239/24 network) you could either enable the router DHCP server and reboot that switch so it does pick-up an address from your subnet, or configure any system on the network to an address in the 192.168.0.x/24 (255.255.255.0) subnet.

btw: Thank you for your feedback!!

IEEE standards is mandating auto-negotiation on Gigabit and faster Ethernet ports. Therefore, the port settings allow 10Mb/s and 100Mb/s speeds only. For Gigabit, stick with AUTO.

The original post was a little bit confusing on this point - be careful with the units MB/s (== MBytes/s) vs. Mb/s (== Mbit/s)
Glad to help!
