Newbi help needed with VLAN performance MS108EUP and GS110EMX
Just updated my home network by adding a NETGEAR MS108EUP and GS110EMX so I can have 2 VLAN's connecting my basement and upper floor with both my internet network and the Google fiber network. I thin...
Quick update.
First, thank you for those that offered guidance and help!
After trying to get this working a couple more times I ended up calling Netgear support who also couldn't find anything wrong with my setup or configuration. We concluded the switch was not working correctly and so I ordered a new one and now everything is working as it should, so the MS108EUP was the issue.
I ended up getting a second GS110EMX rather than replacing the MS108EUP with the same switch as I found several other reviews that seemed to have similar issues with that switch, and I don't need the POE feature.
Thanks again!
Mark.
Thank you for the time to help me. I not sure what you mean on some of that, so I did a before and after diagram and the VLAN config screens. The network is how it is due to building physical limitations. I wanted to use VLANs so I could have both the 192.168.3.x (internal network) and 192.168.2.x (Google fiber router) on the same physical wire between floors 1 and 2 so I could have wired network on floor 3. Everything except one PC is on the internal network 1Gbit and that one PC is on the Google Fiber network on 2.5Gbit.
It seems everything is working, sort of, as the devices are getting the right DHCP addresses, but I am getting odd behavior such as downloads failing, occasional buffeting on streaming, and can't do any speed tests without it failing after a couple of seconds.
MS108EUP GS110EMX
Port 1 Google 2.5Gb (VLAN2) Port 1 Synology Router WAN (VLAN2)
Port 2 Trunk to GS110EMX (VLAN1 and 2) Port 5 to GS116NA (VLAN1)
Port 4 To GS305E (VLAN1) Port 6 to GS308 (VLAN1)
Port 6 To 2nd floor Synology extender (VLAN1) Port 7 to Synology Router LAN (VLAN1)
Port 9 to GS110MX (VLAN2)
Port 10 Truck to MS108EUP (VLAN 1 and 2)
I hope that helps explain my situation and once again thank you for any help and guidance.
Forgot the config screens
Last thing I looked at tonight was a packet capture when trying to download a large file (small files seem to work), I'm not 100% sure I know what I am looking at but these warning may help identify my problem?
I think that by connecting the WiFi extenders to the switches you created loops that kill your network.
I removed the wifi extenders as I was also having issues with the guest network that they serve. However, I don't think that was the issue as you can connect the WAN of those to the LAN of the main router as the wired backhaul option. I did some more testing today and the single PC on the Google (192.168.2.x) network was working normal, as far as speed tests and large downloads.
The issue with the internal (192.168.3.x) remains. It is odd as stuff is working but I get disconnects, dropouts, etc. When I did a speed test the first time it did complete with the expected speed, but then a second attempt only got to a 10th of the expected speed and then failed to complete.
I must have something wrong with the config on those two new switches 😞
