Not getting gigabit speeds from 2 Netgear switches
I have two gigabit switches that I've tried connecting to a Linksys WRT 1200AC router but any device I connect to either of these switches is capped at 100mbps. Process of elimination - it's not an i...
Nevermind, it was a specific cable this whole time. It would handle the network differently depending on where it was moved, so it was throwing our troubleshooting off. There's a bad crimp in it or something. Eventually it just completely stopped working.
Ugh, sorry
Just in case - these aren't FS108 and FS116?
Provide the exact switch model - check the printing and the model type as shown on the label below the device.
Nope, GS108 and GS116
GS108(v1 or -100xxx) and GS116(v1 or -100xxx)?
Do the link LEDs show only 100 Mb/s negotiated? Depending on model, it can be different which LED are on/flashing.
gs116v2, gs108v4.
I just noticed some devices on the switches get 2 lights (a couple linux servers) and other devices that I was testing with are getting 1 light (windows / mac pcs). Those same devices, with the same cables, can get plugged straight into the router and get gigabit speeds though.
