Why is file transfer slow on my NETGEAR FS728TPv2?
Slow file transfers on your NETGEAR Switch can occur if the half-duplex or full-duplex settings on the switch and the connected device are not the same. To resolve this, ensure the attached device is set to auto-negotiate.
What to do if a device is not recognized on NETGEAR Switch network?
If a segment or device isn't recognized as part of the network when using your NETGEAR Switch, verify that the cabling is correct and ensure all connectors are securely positioned in the required ports. Equipment may have been accidentally disconnected. This issue can arise if one or more devices are not properly connected, or if the cabling doesn't meet Ethernet guidelines.
What to do if ACT LED is flashing continuously on NETGEAR FS728TPv2 Switch?
If the ACT LED is flashing continuously on all connected ports and the network is disabled on your NETGEAR Switch, a network loop (redundant path) has likely been created. Break the loop by ensuring that there is only one path from any networked device to any other networked device.
How to fix NETGEAR Switch when link LED is off?
If the Link LED is off or intermittent on your NETGEAR Switch, the port connection may not be working. Here's what you can do: * Check the crimp on the connectors. * Make sure that the plug is properly inserted and locked into the port at both the switch and the connecting device. * Ensure all cables used are correct and comply with Ethernet specifications. * Check for a defective PC adapter card, cable, or port by testing them in an alternate environment where all products are functioning.
How to troubleshoot NETGEAR Switch when power LED is off?
If the Power LED is off on your NETGEAR Switch, it means no power is being received. Check the power cord connections and the connected device. Also, ensure all cables used are correct and comply with Ethernet specifications.
