    Why is the Link/ACT LED flashing continuously on all connected ports on my NETGEAR GS748T - ProSafe Smart Switch, and the network is disabled?

      Matthew JonesJul 26, 2025
      If the Link/ACT LED is flashing continuously on all connected ports and the network is disabled, it indicates a network loop has been created. To resolve this, ensure there is only one path from any networked device to any other networked device, breaking the redundant path.

      If the Link/ACT LED is off on your NETGEAR Switch, the port connection may not be working. Check the crimp on the connectors, ensure the plug is properly inserted and locked into the port at both the switch and the connecting device. Also, make sure all cables used are correct and comply with Ethernet specifications. If problems persist, test for a defective adapter card, cable, or port in an alternate environment where all products are functioning.
