GS108Tv3 cannot stream video well - settings?
Hi there,
In-home video streaming (Nvidia game streaming via Moonlight) works perfectly at high frame rates (1080p/120) through two GS308 unmanaged switches. As soon as I swap either out for a GS108Tv3 (changing nothing else!), the throughput chokes to unusability.
- tried updating the switch to the latest firmware - no change.
- checked the speeds being negotiated - 1000 everywhere.
- from a tip on another webpage, checked that flow control is disabled on all ports - it is.
Any other likely culprits in QoS that I need to understand/disable? Or is it normal for a managed switch to be this much slower than an unmanaged?
I started a thread about this problem a while back (https://community.netgear.com/t5/Smart-Plus-and-Smart-Pro-Managed/Managed-switch-slower-than-unmanaged-in-same-situation/td-p/2032881) but never solved it at the time due to moving house and other life upheavals.
Cheers all

Welcome to the community!
Given that you just swapped the GS308 with a GS108Tv3 in which the issue started to occur, have you tried disabling STP and IGMP Snooping?
Kindly check page 179 and 200 of the user manual here on how to disable STP and IGMP Snooping, respectively.
Also, could you provide a network topology showing how your devices are connected?
