Linksys LGS108

1. What
type of device is the Linksys LGS108?
The Linksys LGS108 is a 8-Port Gigabit Switch. This unmanaged switch offers a
quick and easy solution to extend your office network with a plug-and-play installation.
2. What kind of devices can be connected to the switch?
You can connect the following devices to your LGS108 switch:
Computers
Routers
Switches
Network Printers
Other network devices
3. What should I do when my computer cannot connect to the Internet while
connected to the switch?
Follow the steps provided below to resolve this issue:
Verify if LEDs are properly lit on the switch.
a. System LED (Blue) - The LED lights up solidly when the switch is power
ON.
b. Link/Act (Green) - Each LED lights up when a connection is detected. It
flashes when the corresponding port is active.
Power down all devices and power ON the switch first. Next, power ON the
computer.
4. What is the advantage of having a Gigabit switch when it comes to data
transfer?
The Gigabit switches minimize transfer times and greatly enhance your ability to stream
high-bandwidth files to connected devices without interference.
