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...
Got a new one, works perfectly.. it was the switch!
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.
Stability with the old switch was good (so it isnt the new cables), so I decided to send the switch back
Hi,
I send the switch back and got a new one and now the issue is gone!!
Apparently there was something with the switch, so the issue is solved.
Ps for some reasons the pings were actually OK and consistently good.
