Replacing a Netgear Managed GS110TP with a Netgear Unmanaged GS 308
Hi - I was trying to replace my home Apple Extreme router with an Eero Pro 6E, and was told by eero that managed switches dont work well with Eero (not really sure why). I noticed that I have a G...
Each port with a connected device does have a Link LED (on) and activity (flashing) indication. Whatever is connected on the other ports..

A basic GS308 does not have any loop detection or protection.
As you still have the GS110TP at hand, you could compare the results, in case you face a hardware issue on that GS308.
Hi- Sorry I am not following you. I know what the lights mean. Why am i getting either a flashing or solid green with the GS110TP but when i swap the 110TP out and replace it with a GS308, I dont get either flashing or solid green on 7 out of the 8 ports. My question is why might this be happening.
(might it be because the 110TP has POE while the 308 does not?)
Thanks.
Any PoE powered devices connected to this GS308, not getting external power? What devices are connected? If there are no link LED indications on externally powered connected devices, I'm tempted to say the switch might be defect.
https://my.netgear.com/, select the registered switch and serial number, and head to [Request Hardware Support] or let your retailer replace the unit.
I dont know what is connected - it is a pretty extensive and complex home network spanning multiple floors with devices all over the place 🙂 Sounds like either the switch is defective or 7 out of those 8 connections have no external power, correct?
Might you know whether netgear makes an unmanaged 8 port POE switch?
And again, thanks for being so responsive.
