MS308 unstable connection
Hello, I just upgraded my old 8 ports Netgear Switch for the newer MS308. When Doing this I also upgraded my ethernet cables from Cat 5(e) to Cat8. Problem I have that since moving to this new switch my internet has gone up in speed (was 940mb/s) but down in consistency. Normally I have a 1.1GB connection with an 12ms ping but very frequently it drops down to 500mb and sometimes even loses connection (Google not loading). I used some of the old cables (which i know work) and exchanged the cable from my PC to the switch (it still happened) and also replaced the cable from the switch to the wall (it still happened), no success. I also moved the incoming and outgoing cables to a different port on the switch, which also doesn't make difference. You would think 500mb/s is plenty but I just got out of a conference call that kept dropping me and also paused the video of my 3 colleagues reporting bad internet connection. Any suggestion what else I can do? Does it look like something is wrong with the MS308 (like I think there is)?
Help: Auto-VoIP setting to correct VLAN, but also incorrectly on default
We are trying to configure our S3300's to utilize Auto-VoIP. The goal being that all devices with the correct MAC prefix will be pushed onto the VoIP VLAN regardless of device settings, and without having to manually adjust VLAN assignments on our switches. We have the default VLAN for normal network traffic (PCs, printers, etc), and have Auto-VoIP set up on VLAN 88. We've added several MAC prefixes for our phones. We have our FortiGate firewall configured with two LAN segments. The first for PCs, and the second for VoIP. Both of them are set to the default VLAN ID. The FortiGate subnet used for VoIP has its MAC address set to match a Poly prefix. When it is plugged into a Netgear S3300 switch, it shows up on both VLAN 88 and VLAN 1. It should only be on VLAN 88. Since the Fortigate is configured to do DHCP duty on the VoIP LANs, this is a problem: a non-VoIP device will pull an IP address from the VoIP LAN. The MAC address 80:5E:C0:09:00:05 should only be on VLAN 88. Since it's also showing up on VLAN 1, when I plug a laptop into the switch, it will pull DHCP for the VoIP network. That needs to not happen. Any idea what we're doing wrong? Any help greatly appreciated!Orbi Pro Router (SXR80) Satellite Connection Issues (SXS80)
I have been running two networks based on the SXR80 router and SXS80 satellites. Recently I have been seeing a strange behavior. The Insight App and Cloud say the satellites are NOT connected, but the Satellites show Blue LED indicators which suggest they are connected. I have done complete restarts of the system from the cable modems, then router then satellites, but nothing gets the insight app to see them as connected? I also noticed a very strange behavior in the insight cloud portal as well. connections to the network that are listed as "Wired" are all wireless devices?!? I have no idea why that would display in that fashion when thinks like wireless cameras, mobile phones and ring doorbells are clearly not wired to the network. Is this a firmware issues? Any suggestions? Thanks!Nighthawk M2 IP PassThrough stops working when idle
So I have a Nighthawk M2 in IP PassThrough with a VPN tunnel uplink over time it disconnects from 4G network for some reason and as soon as I login to the Nighthawk it springs to life. firmware NTG24_10.19.03.00 So anyone else having this problem? the ISP is o2GS752TP Firmware Upgrade Failed
I attempted to upgrade a GS752TP from firmware version 60.0.1.16 to 60.0.1.30. I followed the instructions here, just with the 60.0.1.30 firmware instead of .24 as shown in the instructions. When I rebooted, the switch powered up, but I cannot connect to it in any way. The Power LED lights up and alternately switches between green and orange very slowly (maybe once a minute). The LED Mode LED is on solid green. When the Power LED is orange, the port 37 and 43 link LEDs light up solid regardless of if anything is plugged in. When the Power LED is green, whatever ports I plug into will light up solid orange. The LED Mode LED stays on solid green the whole time. I've tried pushing the "Reset" and "Factory Default" buttons on the front and they don't seem to do anything (i.e. - it doesn't reboot/reset as far as I can tell). I've tried connecting to Smart Control Center, but nothing shows up. I've tried the default IP's I can find in the documentation (192.168.0.239 and 192.168.1.1) and I can't access the web interface. Obviously, something went wrong in the upgrade process, but I'm really not sure how to even troubleshoot since the switch is basically non-responsive to anything I do.GS724TPv3 The switch loses IP connection about 1 time in 5 days.
Hi, I have Netgear switch GS724TPv3, newest firmware installed The switch loses IP connection about 1 x every 5 days. I don't know why? While power supply of IP cameras powered via POE is maintained. IP connectivity from router and connected devices to switch is lost. After hard power off and on of switch everything works. The restart pin on the front of switch does not restore connectivity, it requires complete power off. The switch has a static IP address to avoid problems with address reservation from DHCP router. Looking for a solution to the problem of setting up a reboot script for switch GS724TPv3 from my NAS Synology via ssh or telnet. Can someone with experience help me with writing a script. Thank you Zbynek
VLAN Routing for Newbies
Howdy All, I've recently decided to install a GS752 switch in our offices to segregate traffic to help with security. I've run into a problem that I'm hoping someone can help me with (to keep things simple I'll just go over what VLAN 1 and VLAN 10 look like): VLAN1 - is fine. Systems attached get IP addresses from DHCP server, and can reach the internet. All ports are Untagged "U" in the port membership image. (Port 1-10) VLAN10 - doesn't work. No DHCP traffic through and no access to the internet even when using a static IP address in range. All ports are Untagged "U" in the port membership image. (Port 1, 11-20) My setup is: Broadband Router -> Firewall -> GS752 -> VLANS as follow: VLAN 1 - NAS, DNS Server, DHCP Server, Wifi APs VLAN 10 - PCs How do I allow DHCP and DNS to service VLAN1 and VLAN 10, as well others?
