Do I need a new switch? Do I need to upgrade to a gigabit switch or heavier duty one?

Well, you don't need a GigE switch for that, since odds are you aren't pushing more than 10Mb to your router to the Net, but, maybe the switch is getting old and flakey. You could try getting a new GigE switch at a local store to test the "flakey old switch" theory, and if it fixes the problem, you know your old switch is no good.

Yes! The four (4) Wired Network Ports are Gigabit, and the Router/Switch port is also Gigabit.

Just replace 1. The other switch will act as disconnect, so leave it on. Works well for me.

The setup that is being used here currently does not use PoE. (was purchased to upgrade/replace an old switch) We have verified that the connections are capable of the 1000MB/S with our farthest workstation showing throughput of 856MB/s to and from the server. Ours was new. (not refurbed) Has been flawless since integration.

I don't think you can do QOS with the switch. If you're doing online gaming QOS is usually done on the router. Each switch port is several times faster than your ISP connection. Unless you have Google Giga bite fiber. The switch's backplane can handle several giga bit of traffic simultaneously. If your gaming is several local subnet connections the switch should be fast enough to handle several Gb connections.

you just need to replace one but need to modify the second (conventional) switch. see my video diy for reference. I hope this helps

I to was confused about wiring of switch. They need to included a drawing of what goes where. I ended up with only two speeds working. Wish I could help you.

Not sure exactly what your question is. This is a switch which does not connect directly to the internet - you need to attach it to a switch port on a router if you want to allow access to the internet. If you are having difficulty and it is attached to a router then you may want to try a different port on the device. If the second port works, then I would suggest returning the device for a new one. If not of the ports work, I would also recommend returning for a new one. I have two of the devices and they work extremely well.

Please look for an ethernet switch, 5 port switches run about what the prerequsite 2 of these cost, and they are better for what anyone needs this for. this is an artifact from when switches costs 3 times what they cost now.

I had the good fortune to have the old,nearly identical switch in place. That made it easy to swap the new wires one-for-one with the old. Without a formal wiring diagram I would recommend calling an electrician or perhaps the manufacturer of the component on which you are installing the new switch.

Sometimes the extra ports come in handy when you expand, and the extra headroom provided by a solid gigabit switch keeps clogs away when running in heavy traffic from multiple sources. This switch is cheap enough to take care of needs like yours and most reasonable future expansions while still being a solid piece of equipment. Also, if you have computers with gigabit ethernet and want to add a network storage drive or server with gigabit, you will save a huge amount of time on file transfers vs a 10/100 switch.

You would be better off simply replacing your current switch with this one as long as this is a compatible switch. It's not designed to be opened easily. If you do get it opened, you will be extremely challenged to get it all back together in a way that it will actually work. Just replace the entire piece.

I purchased the ubiquiti tough switch which was designed for these routers so I am Not sure if your current system or setup will work with. sorry I couldn't be of more help

If it appears to be a problem with the switch, just get a new one and replace it. It does not cost as much as the hassle you will have messing around with the old one! A simple phillips screwdriver is the only tool needed to do the job.

the switch will give a dedicated one gigabit to each device plugged into it. As for your internet speed it will give whatever it can give to the devices.

Yes, you would need to replace the other switch as well. Also, this switch uses IR and not RF for remote control, so line of sight is required.

Not sure I understand the question but I use this POE injector with gigabit switches all the time.
