About posted ideas in general
Hello my name is Peter and I posted some requests about essential functions on the GS1xxE series of switches. It seems there have been some ideas posted here but there is no respons whether these things are being implemented or not or any timeframe given. I personally had a request about adding a menu in the GS1XXE switches to enter some allowed mac addresses to prevent a user to connect some rogue equipment on the network. Could it be that the chipset does not support such functionality! Couldn't you post back that the engineers are working with this, this and this function and it will be ready in 1-3 months or something. Anyways a definitive answer would be appreciated so that I may peruse other brands that has similar 5-port switches. Regards Peter
Weak wifi with Netgear GS108E
I get a very weak download speed on wifi after I plugged in my Netgear GS108E switch. I have a 100/10 (down/up) Mbit/s fiber connection. Have tried a lot of things but nothing seems to help the speed. What have I missed? Router gives me full speed with cable and wifi. Switch gives me full speed with cable but not wifi (only 15 % of my speed). Access Point gives me full wifi speed (100 Mbit/s) when connected to router. Equipment: 1 Thomson router 1 Netgear GS108E switch 2 Ubiquiti UniFi Long Range Access Point My setup ist kind of easy, Router -> Switch -> UniFi Long Range Access Point (see image below). Thanks
