GS108PE-v3 throughput reduced in firmware version 2.00.08
Hi there, We have used the GS108PE and GS105 for a number of years, to drive 3 machine-vision cameras (Gig-E). The system requires a total throughput of around 844 Mbps. Today we attempted to...
Hi DaneA,
I measured, and this is what I found:
0. Factory default settings with firmware version 2.00.03: Greater than 844Mbps. I didn't attempt to measure higher than that.
1. Factory default settings with firmware version 2.00.08: About 683 Mbps or less.
2. Firmware version 2.00.08 with Flow Control set to "Enable": Greater than 944Mbps, the highest I could generate with 2 cameras.
My conclusions:
1. With factory default settings and 2.00.08 firmware, the GS108PE-v3 has limited bandwidth. This implies flow control is enabled by default.
2. The values displayed for Flow Control in the GUI are misleading. A status of "Enable" displayed against a port means flow control is *disabled* for that port, and vice-versa.
Cheers

Hi ALI_B
Welcome to the Netgear Community!
For your question, there have made some changes in Flow Control after initial 2.00.03 release. In 2.00.08, please try to disable "Flow Control" on all ports to achieve the full throughput.
Hope it could help you, thanks.
