GS605 V3 front lights are orange
Recently the speed on my network (not to the internet, but between devices that are connected via ethernet) seems to have slowed down. The configuration is that my router is connected to a tp-link switch, which then gets connected to the netgear switch. The front lights on the netgear switch for the port that is connected to the tp-link switch is green, but the one that goes from the netgear switch to my computer is orange. Does this mean that's it is not running at gigabit, but something slower. If so, could it be because I need a firmware upgrade, and if so, how do I get that?

Hi danhinsley,
Your PC (client) connected to the NETGEAR GIgabit switch may be operating at 100mbps at this point. Try to connect it to another port or use another ethernet cable.
Kind regards
