Why is file transfer slow on my NETGEAR Switch?
If you experience slow file transfers or performance degradation with your NETGEAR Switch, ensure that the half- or full-duplex settings on the switch and the connected device are the same. Verify that the attached device is set to autonegotiate and check the system message log.
What to do if ACT LED blinks continuously on NETGEAR M4100?
If the ACT LED blinks continuously on all connected ports and the network is disabled on your NETGEAR Switch, a network loop (redundant path) might have been created. To resolve this, break the loop by ensuring that there is only one path from any networked device to any other networked device.
How to fix NETGEAR M4100 when Link LED is off?
If the Link LED is off or intermittent on your NETGEAR Switch, the port connection might not be working. Check the crimp on the connectors and ensure that the plug is fully inserted and locked into the port at both the switch and the connecting device. Also, verify that all cables used are correct and comply with Ethernet specifications. You can also check for a defective adapter card, cable, or port by testing it in an alternate environment where all products are functioning.
What to do if NETGEAR Switch doesn't recognize a device?
If a segment or device is not recognized as part of the network when using your NETGEAR Switch, one or more devices might not be properly connected, or the cabling might not meet Ethernet guidelines. Verify that the cabling is correct and that all connectors are securely positioned in the required ports. Ensure that equipment has not been accidentally disconnected.
