Troubleshooting
My 5-Port 10/100Mbps Ethernet Switch is properly connected to my Ether- net-ready device but my connection speed is slow.
Possible Solution:
Verify that your network adapter and/or additional Ethernet-ready device supports 100 Mbps. You may be using a 10 Mbps device. A blinking orange light indicates you are receiving and transmitting data at 10 Mbps. A blinking green light indicates you are receiving and transmitting data at 100 Mbps. To achieve 100 Mbps speeds, replace any 10 Mbps devices you are using with 100 Mbps devices.
Possible Solution:
Verify you are using a known and reliable RJ-45 Category 5 Ethernet cable. An old or unreliable RJ- 45 Category 5 Ethernet cable could diminish your link quality. It may be necessary to replace your RJ-45 Category 5 Ethernet cable.
Possible Solution:
The length of the Ethernet cable between your 5-Port 10/100Mbps Ethernet Switch and your workstation or computer should not exceed 328 feet.
Possible Solution:
Some power sources with strong electromagnetic fields may also be causing interference.
