Re: Ethernet ports stopped working Hub 3.0
Thank you very much for responding. I switched the hub to modem mode when the hub was not recognised by the switch following advice from a support member on a NetGear forum. (hub, with no other connections, connected via ethernet to the switch, and other port connected to the pc) lights flickered on the GS305 switch on the pc port, but no lights on hub port. This wasn't something I just plugged in and expected to work, I thought I took the proper precautions after reading up on how switches work - I was hoping this should be a plug and play situation, but as I saw no response I took to the forums. I have tried a full 60 second power cycle but will try again. Thanks again5.9KViews0likes0CommentsEthernet ports stopped working Hub 3.0
Hi everyone Maybe someone can help me here? I've read a few other similar posts about the same issue, and the general consensus is to request a new HUB. I find this hard to believe as I have only had this HUB 7 days, and would think its not a hardware failure but more likely a config issue. I changed the settings via ethernet to 'modem mode' from 'router mode' after trying to connect a NetGear switch to effectively add a port for me to plug in to, for when I need to use a wired connection when playing FPS games. (rather than having to dig around behind my pc each time). I plugged the hub and my pc in to the switch - where the device recognised the pc, but did not 'see' the hub, and no lights illuminated on the switch. So changed to 'modem mode' where my problems began. From that point - the ethernet ports on the rear of the hub did not illuminate. Even after a hard pin reset and several reboots. I had to factory reset to get the wifi capabilities back on as they turn off when 'modem mode' is active. So after several hours of trying different cables, different reboot and reset schedules I am still no closer to resolving this issue. I have WiFi, so all is not lost (and after having nothing but issues with BT prior to coming back to Virgin, I am grateful to be able to connect to the internet at all!) - I'm just hoping someone with a bit more technical knowledge than me can direct me to a setting or a function that can bring the ethernet ports back to life. Thanks in advance Richard6.2KViews0likes8Comments
