GS308 Unmanaged Switch Port Speed

I have 5 ethernet connections to the subject switch and all attachments are working as expected.  However all port lights are

green indicating 1Gb capability.  Two of the attached devices are not capable of 1 Gb and reflected same with a yellow port light on the switch I replaced with the GS308.  Any thoughts on why the GS308 indicates all attacments are 1 Gb capable?

  • Hi, 

    Sorry. It's our mistake. 

    GS308 port LED supports single color only. So, the LED is alwary green when it's on.

    The information in IG is correct, but it's wrong in switch front panel.

    Also, it's not belong to S350 series. 

    We have corrected it in October.

      It doesn't differentiate between 10MbE/100MbE/GbE - there is only one port LED on each port, just indicating Link (on) and Activity (flashing) according to the Gigabit Ethernet Switch GS308 Installation Guide 


      Pls see the attached picture below.  It clearly says that the GS308 should differentiate between 1 Gb and 100 Mb.

        Can't see your image yet (requires moderation) - however, all three GS308 versions I?m aware of have just one green port LED:
