Netgear XS508M/Router GT-BE98 Pro Slow with one Intel NUC
Hello. I have the switcher XS508M its LAN Port 1 is connected to the Lan Port 10G port of my router GT-BE98 Pro, and the NUC is connected to LAN Port 2 of the XS508M in other words, in switch XS508M the LAN port 1the router 10G lan Port of my router and in the XS508M LAN port 2 the NUC, when I use fast.com via I have speeds of 400 mbps around, and if I connect directly the NUC to the router to Port 10G, skipping totally the switch I have speeds of 600-900 mbps totally much better. Why if is supposed the XS508M supports 10G ports I have such speeds when browsing or in transfers? As this other similar devices. For example in one MYQ Garage opener if I connect to the Switch simply is not recognized I need to plug directly to the router to work. But mainly what I would ike to know is why the speed issue or how can I fix or configure in any place something to improve this? Or why happens this?No internet after switch is plugged in
I have a GS305v3 unmanaged switch that I just bought and attempted to use. It is connected to my internet via cat6 cable that I ran from my office in my house where my router/modem is located, to my bedroom. When I connect any device to the ethernet port that I put in the bedroom, I have no issues connecting to the internet. But if I plug the switch into the port, then any device to the switch, no internet is passing through. All lights on the switch illuminate as they should according to the manual, but I can't seem to find any info as to what the problem possibly is. For a clear picture of how all the hardware is set up: Fiber internet direct to router/modem in office Cat6 cable to ethernet port in office Cat6 cable from office ethernet port to bedroom ethernet port through the attic Any device connected directly to ethernet port in bedroom works perfectly with 1000mbps+ download Switch plugged direct to ethernet port, devices plugged into switch, no internet to any devices Any advice would be greatly appreciated and thank you in advance to anyone who offers advice.XS508M Crashed. No Longer Have Any Confidence in This Device
My XS508M stopped working whilst I was away for work which is when I need my office network working reliably so caused me a lot of issues. Basically I use this as my main switch. My WAN router and my NAS (which hosts a number of key services) connect to it. All other switches, servers and clients are off that switch, so the loss of that switch meant all other LAN traffic stopped, as well as no incoming internet traffic which was what knackered me. When I returned and started my investigation, I was careful not to do anything that might lose the root cause so I fired up a laptop (no DHCP), set a static IP and then tried to connect to different appliances/devices. It was clear the XS508M was dead, anything connected to it was down and as it is unmanaged, nothing else I could do but unplugging/reconnected the AC lead, which immediately resulted in the entire LAN coming back to life and being contactable from the WAN once more. Since it is unmanaged I obviously cannot get any logs, cannot upgrade/downgrade the FW, what else can I do to determine the cause? Has anyone has this with a XS508M? Is this an unreliable switch? If it is not totally reliable, I will need to replace it, what a waste of money. What else should I use?GS324 stopped working, wrong port LEDs illuminated
There was a power outage this afternoon. Once the power came back on, my devices could not connect. After checking every component, I realized the GS324 was the point of failure. At first glance, everything seemed fine: The PWR LED was green and the various ports were lit up. Upon further inspection, however, I noticed that the LED ports were off, shifted one row to the left. I tried a simple setup to validate: 1) A direct connection from the server to the laptop worked well. 2) An indirect connection from the server to port 6 and the laptop to port 10 did not work. The GS324 shows that the PWR and LEDs 4 and 8 are illuminated. Powering off did not work. The device is about 30 months old. Any suggestions?Netgear GS316P - Switch - unmanaged - 16 x 10/100/1000
Hello community friends, I’m looking for a 12-port switch for home use. Could you please let me know whether such a switch can be installed in a 12-inch rack, and what accessories I would need for that? It’s a simple question, but I’m sure you can help me out with it. The background is: I’m searching for an affordable switch that supports PoE+. If you know of another product I haven’t come across yet, feel free to mention it — I haven’t made a purchase yet. Thanks
