Only One GS108Tv2 Recognizes Gigabit Connection to Playstation 4
Hey! I'm kind of going nuts trying to figure this one out. Here's what I've got: Gateway (NVG599, no choice, required by ISP) > Switch 1 (GS108Tv2) > Switch 2 (also a GS108Tv2) > Playstation ...
Hey!
Thank you for following up. I'm sorry I haven't replied sooner; I don't have much time during weekdays and ended up discovering a few things.
-You are correct in your reiteration of the network path to the PS4.
-I switched around all the cables over the weekend and when I switched them back to what they were, the PS4 was suddenly receiving appropriate speeds. It's still showing as not a gigabit connection on the other switch, but since it's not actually limiting anything it's not really a worry anymore.
-When switching the cables around, I found a bleeping keystone in the cable leading outside for not apparent reason. Since my husband's other keystone installations didn't work out so well over time, this is a giant red flag.
-Apparently my husband switched out the Belkin switch we had on our Tivo in the bedroom with yet another Netgear GS108T, so I now have to go through and check the mac address on the first switch in the link to verify whether it's the one I've actually been looking at or if I've been connecting to a third one I didn't even know we had to try and work all this through.
Either way, the PS4 is no longer limited to like 54 megs, so we're good!
Hi Jenjo,
Welcome to the community! :)
Kindly answer the questions below:
a. Just to confirm, the PS4 port connected to Switch 1 shows a Gigabit connection. Then, the PS4 port connected to Switch 2 just shows 100Mbps. Lastly, the connection between the 2 switches shows a Gigabit connection. Am I right?
b. What is the current firmware version of both GS108Tv2?
