Troubleshooting

My 24-Port 10/100/1000Mbps Switch is properly connected to my

Ethernet-ready device but my connection speed is slow.

Possible Solution:

Verify that your network adapter and/or additional Ethernet-ready device supports 1000 Mbps. You may be using a 10/100 Mbps device. A blinking orange light indicates you are receiving and transmitting data at 10/100 Mbps. A blinking green light indicates you are receiving and transmit- ting data at 1000 Mbps. To achieve 1000 Mbps speeds, replace any 10/100 Mbps devices you are using with 1000 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 your Ethernet cable between your 24-Port 10/100/1000Mbps Switch and your workstation or computer should not exceed 328 feet. Some power sources with strong electromagnetic fields may be causing interference.
