FS105v2 interop problems with gigabit switches and router

NetGear support had no idea why this happens. Their suggestion was to file a ticket against the router.
I decided not to pursue this any further. I have a workaround which is to insert an extraneous GS305 so that I have 2x GS305 between my router and my FS105v2 (which I need due to some 100BASE-TX wiring). This works -- it's an annoying but cheap solution.
