Automatic connectivity
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Flipped cable = cross over cable. The specs do not mention Auto-MDIX so you will need a cross over cable unless the router or other device it connects too has Auto-MDIX and will provide cross over capabilities at the port.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No it does not require a flipped switch if the port you are supplying it with is setup in a standard and not reversed fashion.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I just use a standard cable (not flipped) and it works just fine.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I don't know of any that require a flipped cable. I'm using it to connect desktops (3), to a server. None of those connections require anything other than a standard Ethernet cable.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I hooked a regular cat6 patch cable from the router to Port 1 in this switch and everything works fine and as expected.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes it automatically detect and flips internally.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Just a regular cat 6 cable from any port on the cable modem to any port on the Netgear switch worked fine for me.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It will detect the incoming signal and provide that connection to the other ports. I have mine setup the way you are describing.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It's autodetect. No crossover cable is needed. I have it connected to another switch using a standard cable with the normal wire configuration.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
