Streamer app not recognising streamers on wired network using GS116v2 but does when using GS108v4
Happy New Year I have a question about communication between multiple streamers (Linn DSM’s) , Netgear switches , a Talktalk router and an IPhone iPhone 13 ios18 Talktalk Sagecom 5364 router with...

Hi
Thanks for that
It is GS116v2 ( no E or other letters)
I have tried switching everything off and on in the suggested order
Why does the new one work and the older one doesn’t?
Cheers

So when using the 116 and 108 switches daisy chained works?
Using them separately, doesn't work?
- MarvinGS116Jan 13, 2025TutorHi
The current set up which works is
Internet - router&modem with 4 rj45 ports, using port 1 to GS116 and port 2 to GS108.
The GS116 is connected to desktop TV printer storage and this all works
The GS108 is only connected to the Linn streamers
When the streamers are connected to the router/modem they work
When the streamers are connected to the GS116 the Linn app on my phone can’t find them
Someone suggested it is. DHCP issue??
Thanks for helping - MarvinGS116Jan 17, 2025TutorHi
I have at last had a chance to test
When the chain is router Gs108v4 (with the music streamers) into GS116v2(with everything else ( access point, Epson printer combo, Sony TV, Apple TV, Panasonic TV, Desk top*2, Xbox), my phone streamer app can find the streamers.
When the chain is router to GS116 to GS108 my streamer app cannot find the streamers
Any thoughts?

Maybe some daisy chaining issue that the streamers or there app doesn't like this configuration GS116 to GS108.
I think you'll need to keep everything at the 1st switch. Seems like if you use the 16 port switch, would be best and not use the 8 port switch. Something odd that these two daisy chained is not passing the streaming app data properly.
Or keep the Gs108v4 (with the music streamers) into GS116v2.

Using the GS108v4 on its own works
Using the GS116v2 on its own with the streamers wired to it does not
The streamers plugged into the router allows the streamer phone app to find the streamers
Thanks - MarvinGS116Jan 19, 2025TutorHi
Apologies I didn’t answer one of your questions
Router to GS108 with the streamers plugged in then plugged into the GS116 and then the router works
The other way round it doesn’t

Seems like there is a odd issue between the GS116 switch and these streamers when using that switch alone. Not sure if there could a isse with the switch or what. Seems like if you have the 108 at the head and the 116 at the tail end it works but not the other way around.
Only way to check this would be to try another GS116 switch, maybe find a v1 if you can or try a GS316 and see. If the problem continues with the streamers and this other switch alone, can only presume something with these streamers and some interoperation problem with these GS series of switches. If the problem gets resolved by a different switch, then would point to the GS116v2 being the issue.- MarvinGS116Jan 23, 2025TutorHi All
Thanks for your help
Netgear felt it was a fault with the switch so sent me a new one and the problem is cured!
Plugged it all in and all sorted
Cheers
