ProSafe Managed Switch GS108Ev3 slow downloads during Internet speed test
Hi Everyone, I'm not getting nowwhere close to the expected speeds of my Xfinity gigabit internet service when my computers are connected to this switch. Below is my current setup. Xfinity giga...
I wanted to provide a follow up. I found the problem - there was a poorly wired wall port to which the switch was plugged into. Only 2 of the 4 pairs were wired in this port and of the 2 pairs what were wired, 1 pair was in the wrong position. This bad port wiring must have created interference and/or noise through out the entire network and the two Netgear ProSafe switches were impacted by this. However, the Ubiquiti router was not having any problem so I thought it was something to do with the Netgear switches. It now appears that Netgear switches were impacted by the poor wiring which caused problems with the speed test. After I rewired the port correctly, I'm getting near Gigabit download speeds during the speed test.
