I haven't been able to find the same issue already present in the community, so here it goes...
modem/router: cgnv4-fx4 Hitron previous one was a HUB3.0 from virgin media.
switch: gs308
My ISP changed my old router for a new model, that's when the problems started, my netgear switch had been working fine for almost 1 year before this change. I checked and on the new router it only passes through 80-90mbps internet connection to the connected devices, when on the wifi and with the cable connected directly into the router I manage to achieve around 250-300mbps.
I reconnected the old router and tested, the switch passes through the regural internet speeds of 250-300mbps, but now the ISP has deactivated the old modem/router and I am stuck. I have one of my access points and my work computer connected to this switch so it causes a big problem for the general wifi speed around the house.
Have been researching if there is something I can manually do to clear the cache, fludh the dns, reset the ip tables, but since its an unmanaged switch it doesnt even have an option of updating firmware and it is driving me crazy.
Are the netgear switches made so they break if you put them in another network? changing a modem/router hardware with literally the same configs as the old ones should not have any impact in performance whatsoever, but that's what I am having to deal with, and it is all 8 ports like that, though my PC shows it is connected with a 1gbps speed on the network adapter I ams till getting less of an internet connection then if I just bin the switch and put the cable directly onto it.
Also did a test with a cheap borrowed gigabit switch from a friend and it works like a charm.
Anyone else has had the same problem? any ideas?
Thank you.
