GS316 not connecting at 1000Mbps
I have a brand new GS316 16 port unmanaged switch. It has never shown display status of 2 lights indicating a 1000Mbps connection. All my cables are Cat 6. PC's are configured for 1Gbps but the GS316...
The switch and PC negotiate the speed of their link. It would be best to learn the actual negotiated speed from the information provided by the PC. If it is 100 Mbps, I would agree that the physical connection is faulty. I have run into several situations like this and changing the cable, pushing the plug harder or using a different port resolved the issue.
