GS108Ev3 port issues
Prosafe GS108ev3 8 port having issues with two ports underperforming throughput. Six of the ports deliver 100+ Mbps while two ports only reach 20 Mbps. Looking at the prosafe utility shows none of the ports have limits set on them. Suggestions?

Hi SAH2016,

Wanted to re-rest after restoring switch to factory settings and restarting. I also tested multiple cables to ensure that was not causing inconsistencies. Additionally I performed all new tests with no other users on the network.
My complete layout is the following:
Netgear CM400 Cable Modem with Comcast service - tested speed suing Xfinity speed test; out of modem was 150Mbps for both IPv4 and v6
Apple Extreme - all ethernet ports showing performance of 150+ also.
Netgear Prosafe GS108Ev3 - In the same room as modem and Extreme.
PaKedge 55WPDE (5) switch - In the same room as modem and Extreme.
Used a Macbook and Dell laptop using Xfinity Speed test on all ports of Extreme, Netgear and PaKedge switches in the same room with no other cables attached other than to the Extreme and one laptop at a time. Additionally changed the ethernet cables to each switch to ensure that was not an issue.
All Netgear switch ports are now delivering 20-25 Mbps with both lights on when ethernet cable attached and IPv4 and IPv6
Pakedge switch delivers 150+ out of all ports. Checked end of remote connection to PaKedge switch and was also getting 150+ hard wired (Ethernet wire in walls to remote study, hard wired to Macbook and Dell, both saw 150+ Mbps).
I'm stumped.....any suggestions?
