Speeds slowed by Netgear GS108T smart switch
When I connect my computer directly to my Netgear GS108T gigabit smart switch, my internet surfing comes to a crawl. So bad that I can't even get a simple web page loaded. When I connect my computer directly to my Netgear GS108 gigabit switch, everything seems normal, with just a slight lag/delay. Any ideas why the GS108T would cause this slow down? Any suggestions would be helpful and I thank you in advance.
Turn off port flow control
You may have given up on this already, but if not (or for others with the same issue) ...
(1) go to the GS108T web browser config and click on the switching options
(2) click on the offending port (the one plugged into to your computer/switch/router with the slow connection) and change "Flow Control" to "Disable"
(3) click apply
You should be good to go.
Cheers
