FAN loud XS508M
Dear all, I hope I get some tips for my problem what I have and maybe many others. I bought a XS508M unmanaged switch, a nice one but I am in shock about the very very noisy fan inside. I like to use it in a study room where I work and my wife too. This is unacceptable noise in the room. Now I can do two things returning the switch or I replace the fan with some issues with my warranty . I searched the internet and see more people have fan issues with switches. Who can help me out what fan I can use to replace without troubles and like a plug and play solution if possible. I am technical so I can do it . I see Sanyo Denki and other brands but I like an easy swap and a quiet good cooling fan. Thank you for all the help.Does GS308PP include a DHCP server ?
Hello NETGEAR Community, I want to connect several PoE-enabled devices to a network switch, and I got GS308PP recommended. Main Purpose: Surveillance IP PoE-enabled 4K cameras as "CCTV" solution. Therefore, the features I need for any network switch (at least) are: 1. IP addresses automatically provissioning (DHCP server embedded). 2. Gigabit speed. 3. PoE (I don't know how much max power is required) ** No VLANs, QoS are needed. 1. Does this model meet these requirements ? 2. What is the best recommendation for me based on my need ? Your advice is welcome. LeMikeJGS516 switch and port trunking with QNAP NAS?
I have a QNAP TS-453Be NAS with two ethernet ports, and I'd like to configure it for port trunking to combine them for faster access speed. I have the JGS516 unmanaged switch. From what I've seen on this board it looks like port trunking may not be possible but I'd like confirmation if anyone knows for sure. The JGS516PE is listed as a model that can do a manual static LAG but that's obviously not the same model as mine. I fear it's not possible since I can't configure anything on the switch. TIA! Link to QNAP article that lists the accepted for trunking modes: https://www.qnap.com/en/how-to/tutorial/article/set-port-trunking-on-your-qnap-nas-to-increase-the-bandwidth-via-802-3ad-protocolThinking 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 5 connected as Lan Port to a Motorola Moca adapter that I used for my Fios TV service Three of the Lan ports are connected directly to three different locations in my house via internal cat 5e wiring and I currently have the fourth port connected to a GS608 switch that connects the four other locations in my house. I recently dropped the Frontier TV service and subscribed to DirectTv Stream service therefore increasing my need for ethernet connections in all locations of my house. In every location (including the ones connected via the gs 608 switch I have added a gs 605 switch in order to accommodate the need to connect my DirectTv Stream boxes. Location one Router->internal cat 5e>gs605->my network printer, desktop computer, Direct Tv Stream Box, and Xbox Series X. Location two Router->internal cat5e->gs605->Roku Ultra, Laptop computer, Direct Tv Stream Box, Blue Ray Player Location three Router->internal cat5e->gs605-> AX 6000 (Eax80) Wi-Fi Mesh Extender in access point mode, Direct Tv Stream box, Smart TV, Xbox One X Location four Router->cat 6 cable->gs608->internal cat5e->gs605->desktop PC, smart tv, PlayStation 5, Direct Tv Stream box. Locations five six and seven are identically configured. Router->cat 6 cable->gs608->internal cat5e->gs605->smart tv, Direct Tv Stream box. Everything right now is working perfectly, and I did an experiment powering all DirectTv Stream boxes and all of them had excellent connectivity. I tried replacing the gs608 switch with the gs108 but ran into connectivity issues on all my devices that were still connected via gs605, so I put the gs608 back and the problem went away. Should I leave well enough alone or replace the gs608 with the gs108 and the gs605's with gs105's and see if by replacing the 605, 608 family of switches with the gs108 and gs105 family would work as the gs105 and gs108 have a better warranty.
