Hello, my house is pre-wired with cat-5 cable for home networking. The central wall box is fairly small, so I had to purchase a Netgear GS105 because it is the only switch I could find at the store that is small enough to fit. In the back room, I have a D-Link DIR-655 router connected to my cable modem. The router connects directly to a PC AND to the wall, which connects to the Netgear switch in the wall box. The problem is that the DIR-655 and GS105 switch will ONLY connect at 10M. This means that all the wired connections in my home are effectively running at 10M. SLOW.
These items are both rated at 10/100/1000, and I can't figure out why the switch won't uplink at a higher speed. I've tried changing ports, etc. with no luck. I checked the cabling in my house and it seems to be OK. The switch works just fine on its own - connecting various computers at 1000M. The router also works fine on its own. I just can't get them to work at a high speed together. Any advice?
