GS108v4 not working
I have replaced a broken switch from a different brand to this netgear. All LED's are blinking but i do not get internet connection on my PC's. Is there anything todo in the installation?
I have detached all cables. Then i have connected each again one by one. The first three everything worked fine. Then the next one cable reproduced the problem. I replaced that cable with a new one out of the box and now all connections are working properly. So the conclusion: sometimes the solution is simple if you know where to look for.
Thanks for the support.
In my workroom is an connection via an homeplug in a wall outlet. I use this connection already for a longtime. The switch is connected tot this homeplug with ethernet cable. If the ethernetcable is connected tot he PC directly, everything works fine. The PC connected to the GS108 does not give an valid IP adres. Uptil now i had a switch from another brand and it worked fine in this configuration.
I hope you can help me.
