Thinking about replacing my gs 608 and gs605 with gs prosafe 108 and gs prosafe 105.
I currently have my home network set up in the following manner. Frontier Fiber ONT->cat5e->Netgear AX11000 (Rax200) Wan port. I have my four Lan ports connected and the 2.5 multi gig port as port ...
I only changed the gs608 with the gs108 (swapping them) and left the gs605 as they were. That’s where I ran into connectivity problems with all of my Direct TV stream boxes constantly dropping their internet connections. By placing back the gs608 (swapping with the gs108 I had put in its place) I can power on all seven Direct Tv streaming devices without any issues.
I was able to solve the issue that I had earlier. I had powered down the Nighthawk AX11000 RAX200 router when I first installed the GS108 to replace the GS608 and turned on the GS108 before powering up the Nighthawk Router. When I put the GS608 back I did not power up the GS608 first I powered the Nighthawk Router first then the GS608 switch. I read a post regarding a Westell Router and the same switch GS108. User tweenercat mentioned that the router had to be fully powered and to then power on the switch. I finally replaced the GS608 with the GS108 and all GS605 with GS105. I never powered down the Nighthawk Router and all is working perfectly.
