MS308 unstable connection
Hello, I just upgraded my old 8 ports Netgear Switch for the newer MS308. When Doing this I also upgraded my ethernet cables from Cat 5(e) to Cat8. Problem I have that since moving to this ne...
It is the MS308, it's unmanaged, no web interface option. Could I measure it someway from my PC?
Good idea about the old switch, will try that.
My Multigig devices are:
- 2 Switches (MS305 & MS308)
- The Sagemcom internet router from my internet provider
- Wifi access point and satellites (Orbi 870)
- My Windows desktop
- My Macbook pro
- The wife Macbook air
- iPad pro
- 2 iPhones
I was just think I moved the incoming cable only on the router, I can try moving both cables on the MS308.
Could I measure it someway from my PC?
Ping can give you some idea - running ping -n 1000 8.8.8.8 from the windows command line (cmd) will ping google's DNS server 1000 times (once a second) and give you a summary on how many pings succeeded. You can also do this on a Mac from terminal (ping -c 1000 8.8.8.8). You can also ping your router IP (or the Orbi) if you want to test a local connection - that takes the internet out of the equation.
Thanks, today I have installed the old switch again and will test the stability.
