Starting the cable tester it gives a mismatch (Cable Fault Distance 6 meters) at port 1. The other cables are OK. After replacing the networkcable between the switch and my router (Sagemcom F3896LG...
Yes. Port 4 was the problem. Now 2 x Netgear GS 105ev2 at Ports 1 and 3 of the router and 1x Netgear GS108ev4 at port 4 of the router. Port 2 of the router one cable directly to a computer. Now everything works without mismatches.
thanks for hor help.
Do the other working cables show same thing in port 1 if connected to port 1 and tested?
Connected the cable that would be connected to port 1 and connect it to port 5 and see if problem follows.
What CAT# LAN cable are you using ? CAT6 UTP is recommended.
Thanks for your reaction. Also other cables in Port 1 of the switch show the same fault. Connecting the cable to port 5 alle the same.
when using another port of my router, the problem is solved. I can’t explain why.
So ports 1 and 5 show the fault but 2,3 and 4 don't?
Does factory reset change anything?...on the router side from what I understand.
Unless I'm wrong, three are plain GbE ports, and the fourth is a 2.5 GbE MultiGig port.
Is this the one where the simple test goes wrong?
The cable test can show incorrect results under some non-standard conditions, and works on specific cables, and against a simple GbE port only.
