GS105Ev2 Cable Test Specifics not in manual
Hello... Awaiting delivery of GS105Ev2... Already have downloaded all dicuments and firmware for this device so when it gets here it will be current.... When I purchase a Product I usually read th...
It's been a couple months since I last posted......
I've been watching things... and can happily report that the cables indicated as bad by the Netgear swtich... and the replacement cables that tested good by the Netgear switch...... have been a resounding success!!!
No Hardware or Software GB indicators have toggled to 100Mb.... Speed of copying between GB devices now consistantly at 130Mb/sec instead of 85Mb/sec...
I couldn't be happier.... That Test is worth the price of the Switch!!!
Any replies starting from the to divert to non-managed dumb switches could be removed by a moderator as unrelated to the OP subject and hardware so completely off-topic. And it would be nice if a moderator would pick up the burden and move the essential parts to the Smart Plus And Smart Pro Managed Switches Forum pleeeeease.
Finally got to Garage to replace the suspect cables....
Prior to replacement, disconnect and reconnect of E2000 WIFI GB Device, took 2 seconds to lockup at 1000, and would occasionally lockup at 100...
After Replacement... INSTANT LOCKUP at 1000!
Tested removed cables... MISMATCH..
The Local Cable Company has not informed me of the results of 2 Suspect cables I dropped off a couple weeks ago, but they were from the SAME EXACT PURCHASE as the cables removed and tested MISMATCH today.....
I am very happy with my Purchase!!
