Suggestion for connecting NetGear switch for network home

Hi all

Recently, I bought NetGear ProSafe 8 - Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch GS108E. I would like to ask your help/suggestions to connect to my home network. The other components I have is Motorala SurfBoard SB6121 Cabel Modem and Cisco Valet M10 Wireless router.

I have a Comcast Blast Plus service and if I check my internet speed by connecting my laptop directly to the cable modem, I get 50 Mbit/s Download and Upload of 11 Mbps. If I connect my laptop to the ethernet port of the router the speed I get is 25 Mbps download and still 11 Mbit/s upload. 50% reduction the internet download speed. So I decide to buy a NetGear Switch so that I can run all my connection cable of the switch and wait for the speed of download of 50 Mbps and 11 Mbps Upload.

I made the connection like cable Modem--> Switch NetGear--> wireless router. In this configuration no my devices are able to connect to internet and I get message unidentified network. I tried to troubleshoot using the Windows Connection Manager, but he just asks me to turn off and on again. I tried this several times, but was not able to solve the problem.

I want to return to the NetGear Switch mannual and made connections like shows in the quick installation guide. Cable modem-->--> Switch NetGear wireless router. In this configuration, all my devices are able to connect to internet but I get the speed of 25 Mbps download and 11 Mbps upload, identical to what I was getting into when running connection wireless router wired thorugh.

So, essentially, NetGear switch does nothing for me except give me a few more ports to run the wired connections.

It would be a great help if someone can guide me in the resolveing of my problem.

Kind regards
Shekhar

He had bought a new router in the first place. Your router is the problem. Check on their website for a solution.

  • Disconnecting from the network home

    Win 7 I have a stand-alone computer (not other computers) with a USB - connected printer and a connection to a modem (without router) via a network (?) (not USB) cable.  I have no other computers or printers.  Win 7 connected me to a network home, maybe because my printer is compatible with wireless (but I have no WiFi - or interest in functionality).  If I disconnect the home network I lose the internet connections or printer?

    My apologies but I found your statement at the opening a bit confusing.

    Your home network is connected to the modem, a local area network, and is a type of HOME that helps your computer share with a reliable source, connected to your modem/router.

    A HOME network is essentially the default setting...

    A PUBLIC network limited with any computer that can be attached to your router/modem to share files.

    If your printer is connected via a USB cable, disconnect from the network will NOT affect the communications between your computer and the printer and the printer will do what you expect it to do.

    However, you will lose Internet you disable the network connection.

  • Problems connecting to a Satellite Pro 4600 for network wireless home

    Hello
    My computer has a processor Athlon 64 x 2 4200 + and 2 GB of RAM, with XP2 Pro. I have a Linksys WRT54GS broadband router and connected with Virgin Media.

    My daughter gave me an old laptop a Satellite Pro 4600 with a 747 MHz Celeron processor, 384 MB of RAM and XP2 Pro has an Intel Pro/100 VE Network adapter. I set up a Linksys Wireless - G Notebook Adapter with SRX (model No. WPC45GX), so that I could use around the House. However when I try to connect to the home network, although he "finds" a list of networks, I am unable to connect and get an error message - "Windows cannot connect to the selected network (my home network). The network can be is no longer in range. Please refresh the list of available
    networks and try again. »

    I tried to connect with laptop computer in the same room as the router, but get the same message. In the Manager of peripheral devices, network cards, the two are shown and both work properly, but in the taskbar there is a red cross shown on the two icons, they say that a network cable is unplugged, but I don't have a cable network.
    The other tells me that the wireless is not connected.

    I presume that the adapter works as it can 'see' wireless networks, I used Lynksys support to verify that all router and adapter settings are correct.
    My wife has a new laptop and is able to connect to the home network with no problems.

    Please can someone offer advice or assistance.

    for some reason, you need to turn off your wired connection (cable) and use the client of the PCMCIA wireless network card. Maybe just the problem that your system can not separate the two network connections and gets an error it s. You should also visit the site Web of Linksys and download the latest driver and the customer for the card, so you can make sure that the software is up to date.

    Another good idea would be to visit www.microsoft.com and the support center for any 'knowledge base documents' which could probably solve the problem.
    As your machine is really old and no one is using PCMCIA cards more, you may wait a long time for an answer in this forum. Maybe you should check the site from linksys for a support section. Maybe they could help you...

  • Compaq Presario 5400US - need network drivers for XP Home Edition. Wired connection.

    It woun't connect to internet using a good modem and cable (other PC connect successfully using this same equipment). When I type IPCONFIG, I get 2 results, one for Local Area Connection2 for LAC3. Two of them have 169.254.xxx.xxx IP addresses. Both Suffixes DNS blank and empty default gateways.

    When I go into network connections, the LAC2 says "Limited or no connectivity", but it lists a Linksys LNE 100TX Fast Ethernet Adapter. Linksys? I don't have any Linksys product. LAC3 says 'Connected' with the help of a WAN network driver. However, in the Notification area network connections has the same yellow triangle as LAC2. When I right click the icon in the Notification area and select "Repair" I always get the following ".." following action cannot be completed: renewing your IP address.

    If I right click LAC3 (the one that says 'Connected'), click Properties, click TCP. IP and select Properties, it is set to get an IP address and an address of DNS server automatically. It is also the same for LAC2.

    Client DHCP, DNS Client and call the CPP are started.

    I tried ipconfig/release, ipconfig/registerdns, ipconfig/flushdns, netsh winsock reset. When I run it ipconfig / renew I get messages (after he is sitting there for 2 minutes)
    An error occurred during renewal of the Local 2 network connection interface: unable to contact your DHCP server. Request timed out...
    An error occurred during renewal of the Local 2 network connection interface: unable to contact your DHCP server. Request timed out...

    A run chkdsk /r have run the command netsh int ip reset reset.log.

    So, I went 2 network cards, restarted in the device and removed Manager and let Windows reinstall. Windows creates a new connection to the Local network (LAC4, 2 and 3 are gone). It only reads limited connectivity or none and is using Linksys LNE 100TX Fast Ethernet Adapter, like the previous LAC2. The previous LAC3, who uses the network never got WAN driver reinstalled. I don't understand.

    Since an adapter Linksys on a wired connection seemed odd I have tried to find what should be the correct network driver.

    I google "Compaq Presario 5400US" "driver ethernet" OR "network driver" and was taken to a page of drivers HP, which I think makes sense since HP now owns Compaq
    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/s...UCT=93284#n430
    This page has nothing listed for network or chipset cards.  This, of course, has no meaning for me.

    Can anyone help?

    Select this version from the drop-down list on the link that I posted above.

    Depending on the size of file, it does not resemble an auto install file. Accept the agreement and unzip the file into a folder.

    So, download it to a folder and go to Device Manager.

    Click the network card in need of drivers, and then select manual search for drivers. Navigate to the folder where you extracted the drivers and the driver should install.

  • Connection for network joint recommended HP 8920:8620

    I have a mixed network of Wi - Fi and Windows PCs and laptops over a Surface, Samsung tablet, Android phone, iPhone and Windows phones. All in all, I have about 20 machines to connect to my home network who do not generate printed content at random times. My router is a Netgear R6250 and I'm hard wired for Gigabit ethernet throughout the House. I use a single subnet.

    Given these parameters, what would be the method preferred for connect the 8620 my network for all devices can print and access scanned documents?

    • For example, should I run ethernet from the printer to the router or use the printer wireless?
    • If I go wireless, will be my Wired desktop PC can print or receive scan?
    • If I go with an Ethernet connection to the router, my wireless devices will be able to print?

    Finally, we have occasional visitors who would use our network of comments. If I connect the printer to our main network, users on the network of comments will be able to access the printer?

    Thanks for the help!

    Ethernet is always perferred more wireless... fewer problems.    Insofar as comments, Netgear networks should have a framework that will allow the printer to be seen and used.  You will need to read their manual.  If router linksys... forget it.

    You will need to install the drivers and full software functionality on each device to make full use of the printer.

    Hello

    It will be interesting to know if this happens right at the beginning or all the time so that the WIFI is enabled. If this happens right at the beginning, it may be possible that the unit will search automatically for certain network files or even printers. For this reason, the opening of applications may take a longer time.

  • HP envy laptop laptop 15-ah150na: loses the connection to the wireless network device I had not only portable for 2 days

    Loses the connection to the wireless network sometimes directly after that the computer is turned on at other times after 5 min and sometimes after an hour.  No other device I have loses the connection to the wireless network.  Help, please.

    Hello @fairgame,

    Thank you for visiting the Forums from the HP Support! The forums are a great place where you can find solutions for your problems, with the help of the community!

    I understand that you have a problem with the WiFi and wanted to help you!

    First of all, try to review the next steps, offered by community member @Great-Christine-Tree:

    First of all, we have a step by step guide to guide you through the process of diagnosis here:

    HP PC - troubleshooting Internet and wireless network

    A second option is to try the following steps:
    Powercycle the network:
    1. turn off your laptop.
    2. unplug the power to your router.
    3. disconnect the power to your modem.
    4. wait at least 45 seconds.
    5 reconnect the modem and wait for it to come back online.
    6 plug in the router and wait for it to come back online.
    7. turn on your laptop and test your connection.

    Turn off the power to the adapter:
    1. open Device Manager. (Win Key + R > type devmgmt.msc > OK)
    2. expand the network adapters.
    3. right click on the Ethernet adapter / wireless, and then click Properties.
    4. click on the power management tab.
    5 remove the check mark next to allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.
    6. click on OK.
    7 test cycle.

    Reset the TCP/IP settings on your PC:
    1. go to your start screen/menu and type CMD.
    2. right-click on the command prompt icon and select run as administrator.
    3. in the window that opens type "netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt" without the quotes and press ENTER.
    4 restart your PC and test.

    It can also help to reset the winsock catalog:
    1. go to your start screen/menu and type CMD.
    2. right-click on the command prompt icon and select run as administrator.
    3. in the window that opens type "netsh winsock reset" without the quotes, and then press ENTER.
    4 restart your PC and test.

    Reinstall the NIC drivers:
    1. download the drivers from here , but do not run them again.
    2. go to your Start menu/screen and type Device Manager.
    3. expand network adapters.
    4. right click on the wireless adapter and choose uninstall.
    5 install the drivers downloaded in step 1.
    6. restart your PC and test.

    Test an ethernet connection:
    Explicit. Test if the problem persists on a wired connection to the adapter hardware troubleshooting wireless can be directed to the appropriate areas.

    Test another connection:
    Many people excluded their home network as a problem if another device working on the same network. Networking is not as simple as that. Each device interacts differently with your router or modem and it is impossible to exclude the settings for this device until the laptop has been tested on another network.

    If these steps do not resolve the problem, try this document published by Microsoft for network management issues: wired and wireless network problems. You can change the operating system with the drop-down list in the upper right of the document.

    Please let me know if this information helps you solve the problem by marking this message as 'accept as Solution', this will help others easily find the information they seek.  In addition, by clicking on the Thumbs up below is a great way to say thank you!

  • vista ultimate for xp home network

    I have Office operational dual boot with vista ultimate/xp home and a laptop and a desktop running xp home.  I'm trying to network all computers with an ethernet switch.  I just bought a new switch, which, according to the manufacturer, is compatible with vista.  Have installed link layer topology on the laptop, all computers are in the Working Group "mshome".  XP on dual boot system, all computers communicate and share my internet connection through my aircard wireless of sierra on dual-boot computer.  When I am running vista, I see the laptop with LLT but when I try to open it I get "error code: 0 x 80070035 the network path was not found."  I think that if I can just get them all to communicate, they should be able to share the internet connection through the aircard card.  Any suggestions?

    Setting up a shared printer

    "The most common way to make a printer available to a home network is traditionally to connect to one of the computers and then tell Windows to share it. This is called a shared printer.

    The advantage of sharing a printer is that it works with any USB printer. Side tilted? The host computer must always be fed up, otherwise the rest of the network will not be able to access the shared printer. »

  • Don't go DVD player on desktop Pc windows 7 network home for computer laptop windows 8

    Desktop PC to Windows 7 with DVD player, I want to share on my network home wifi with my new windows laptop 8 who doesn't have a DVD player. I went to control panel to set the sharing but sharing was gray.

    Hi Susan,.

    The sharing option is grayed out, it is because it is not possible to share a DVD player on your system through a wireless network.

    You can buy an external DVD drive that connects via a USB port to use on the laptop Windows 8.
