GS308PP and GS105v5 limited throughput with hardwired Amazon devices.
There seems to be an issue with this Netgear switches connected to Amazon Firestick devices. When hardwired directly to these switches listed below, connection speeds are limited to only 40Mbps not 100Mbps they should be seeing. I have tried replacing the LAN cables which does not help. However when bypassing the switch the speeds jump to 89Mbps. Also if I connect to my Netgear MR60's Ethernet port the speeds are also 89Mbps even though this is connected to the GS308PP itself. If I use a different manufactures switch the speeds are also 89Mbps so the issue is definitely caused by a compatibility issue of the Netgear switches.
I have confirmed this on three different Amazon fire devices - Firestick 4K, Firestick 3rd Gen, Firecube 2nd Gen.
Tested on two separate GS105v5 and the GS308PP.
Third party Trendnet switch tests fine.
