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.
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.

Unless I'm wrong, three are plain GbE ports, and the fourth is a 2.5 GbE MultiGig port.

The cable test can show incorrect results under some non-standard conditions, and works on specific cables, and against a simple GbE port only.
