Q: What is the maximum throughput speed of this Netgear switch?
A: This Netgear switch offers a maximum throughput of 2000 Mbps on each port.
Q: Does this Netgear switch require any software or configuration?
A: No, this Netgear switch is plug-and-play, requiring no software or configuration for setup.
Q: Why is this Netgear switch ideal for a small office environment?
A: The Netgear switch is ideal for small offices due to its compact size and silent operation, as it has no fan.
Q: How does the Netgear switch help protect my network infrastructure investments?
A: The GS116 switch protects your investments by seamlessly integrating with other 10, 100, and 1000 devices, and by supporting layer 2 802.1p priority tags.
Q: What type of operating systems does the Netgear switch support?
A: This Netgear switch supports both PC and Macintosh operating systems.
A: It will only transfer at the speed of the device. If the NIC (Network Interface Card) in the device is only 10/100 then the switch will only transfer up to 100. Thus why the light is yellow. Most TV's (at least for now), surveillance cameras, etc. will only transfer at a maximum of 100 since that is all that is needed so the devices are built as such. If it is a newer laptop, then that should be transferring at 1000 if it is plugged into the actual ethernet port and not an external adapter via USB. Make sure your ethernet cables are good as well. All 8 pins are required for 1000Mbs speeds. Only 4 are required for 10/100. This is why POE cameras only run at 100Mbs speeds. 4 for the network connection and 2 for power. The other 2 are not being used.
A: Hi Ryan, You would typically want to connect your internet to the router then the router to the switch. so in this case the switch would be down stream. You will be able to maintain 1 gig wired connection in this fashion. I hop that helps... here is a visual INTENET -----> MODEM ---- >ROUTER ----> SWITCH do it in this order if you can.
