Prosafe utility cannot find GS 116 and config utility does nothing.
Good day.
I have a ProSafe Gigabit GS-116 V2 switch. It seems to be working fine however I have a NAS attached that is so slow I could walk to Alaska before files transfer. Connect speed terrib...

The GS-116v2 is an unmanaged switch - so perfectly fine that it can't be discovered or managed.
Must be cabling, link negotiation, potentially a network loop (any Sonos is the game probably?) whatever.

No games just PC's via switch. I guess I will just delete all that crap! LOL this site did not return anything other than than when I searched on GS-116 and it was not that clear if it applied to my specific device or not.
Not sure how to determine what network loop might be? I did just order a pack of new Cat6E patch cables to replace the Cat5 I have though I've never seen a problem with Cat5 using short patch cables no more than 5 ft long. Cheap enough why not !
