Troubleshooting
My 24-Port 10/100Mbps 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 100 Mbps. You
may be using a 10 Mbps device. 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 24-Port 10/100Mbps 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.
