Bottleneck with JFS516 10/100

[Steve_18]

Hello,

I just got this switch to my hands, and I have a problem. I have a 30 Mb/s connection, but when running through the switch it only runs at less than 2 Mb/s. I only have connected two cables - the router and the computer. Is there a solution for this?

   "when running" _what_ "through the switch"?

   What, exactly, did you connect to what, exactly?  What, exactly, are
you doing?

   "it"?  _What_ "runs at less than 2 Mb/s"?  Measured how?

> [...] I only have connected two cables - the router and the computer.

   Is the speed higher if you connect them directly, instead of using
the (old, slow, but possibly adequate) network switch?

   Have you tested/swapped the cables?

   JFS516 or JFS516v2?  Look for "Model" on the product label.

   Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your (actual) model number,
and look for Documentation.  Get some.  Read.  What do the LED
indicators on the switch indicate?
