GS105V5 unable to connect to router
Hi dear NetGear team,
1. I install Prosafe Plus Configuration Utility for GS105 ( not sure that for the GS105v5 because didn't find such )
2. Accept all Windows firewall notification that pumps up
3. Plug in on cable to my working router ( D-link DIR-300 ) and one to my PC ( win 8.1. )
4. Power Up NetGear GS 105 ( it was done at first place )
5. Also donwload GS105Ev2_V1.4.0.6 zip but don't know how to install it
6. Reboot my PC
7. Reboot my DIR-300
8. Yes, I forgot to mention that I start up ProSafe Plus Config Utility press refresh button and the app said to me "No switch exist in the local area network! "
and still can access internet only through DIR-300 wi-fi the Win gives me notification in "NetWorks " "Connections" - Unidentified network
What should I do in order to get access to the internet through the GS105v5 in my case ? All cables are working they short (1 meter ) . Connection to the internet provided by the DIR-300 through wi fi is working all the time. My operation system is Win 8.1. Should I install something ? Like the GS105Ev2_V1.4.0.6 or something ?
for me info please take a look on this pdf

Hello Sunny_Amigo,
Welcome to the community!
The GS105v5 is only a pass-through plug-and-play switch. It does not require any software or firmware to run. It is basically just an extension to the router's ports. I saw the contents of the link and it looked like the switch was installed properly, If the LEDs are blinking it means that it is detecting a connection (activity). My question is when the laptop is plugged into the D-Link modem do you get a connection?
Thanks,
