USRobotics 5-Port 10/100Mbps Ethernet Switch 7905A: Troubleshooting

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.
