Correct. Think about it, if traffic between devices on 100Mbps ports also sent that traffic to all 10 Mbps ports the 100 ports would be limited to 10 and there would be no point it being a dual speed hub, a 10Mbps hub would work just as well. Also there are separate collision LEDs for 10 and...
So this 10/100 megabit 8 port Netgear hub I'm looking at is a figment of my imagination is it? I've had it for over 20 years. It's a 10 megabit hub and a 100 megabit hub with a switch between them. Each port is connected to the hub for the speed the port negotiates at. It's great for traffic...
It is a gigabit ethernet switch. I can see from the traffic LEDs when speed testing my Apple TV 4K that the traffic is only going between the Apple TV port and the port to my router.
Ethernet switches know nothing about MAC - IP mappings, they work entirely in layer 2 using ethernet MAC...
An ethernet hub sends the packets everywhere (except the originating port). I have some old hubs at home since they are useful for packet snooping. I'm not aware of any gigabit hubs, the last hubs made were 10/100 and even those had a switch between the 10 and 100 megabit sections.
An ethernet...
Oh and to prove a point, neither the Apple TV 4K nor the connection to the router are on the socket misleadingly labelled "Uplink". I have my existing gigabit switch connected to that, in a "Downlink" sense in that this device is less hops from the router.
I have it and as expected it is a straight forward 4 port gigabit ethernet switch. 210mA is a lie, power varies depending on what you have connected. With all 4 ports connected at gigabit consumption is 450mA, which is low enough for my purposes as it is less than 500mA. Thrashing my Apple TV 4K...
As far as I can tell since I don't have it yet (it's in the Amazon locker awaiting collection), this is a 4 port gigabit ethernet switch and will behave the same as any other switch. It is incorrect for them to describe it as a splitter.
I can't take credit, it was a colleague at work who found it. I was discussing TVs with him which he's quite knowledgeable about and my need for an ethernet switch, and the next day he said "it's all your fault, I spent hours looking and couldn't stop until I found this" which is the switch above.
I will report back here. I can thrash it at my house much more easily than my parents since I have some gigabit ethernet devices and 300 / 50 broadband compared to my parents 38 / 8.
I have a couple of USB C power measuring dongles already.
It comes with a USB A to USB C power lead, which is exactly what I need. I might prefer a shorter one but those can be purchased.
I've ordered one of these 4 port gigabit switches since it claims 210mA consumption from 5V: https://www.amazon.nl/dp/B0DPK288PG. I've ordered it from Amazon UK which sells the same product but doesn't list the consumption.
I forget when auto detect of cross over came in. It didn't exist 25 years ago last time I did some cabling in a commercial building.
Capitalisation is all over the place these days anyway. I lost the will to try to get it right when things like 7G started being used heavily instead of 7g to...
All the ethernet at my house is gigabit, except on links to things like HDR Fox T2 that support 100mbit max. I have 300mbit down / 50 mbit up broadband so I do get throughput greater than 100mbit on some operations, typically firmware updates of various things.
All the cabling in the walls and...
People used to report all sorts of problems trying to use SCSI devices, generally hard discs and scanners. I used SCSI a lot and never had any trouble, but then I always properly terminated the SCSI bus whereas most people seemed to think that was optional or were unaware of the requirement. I...
I don't understand why that is proving so difficult for you. Life is basically impossible without a home network these days.
Have you tried taking your entire network apart and rebuilding it one item at a time? And then use just that for a few days before adding the next item? And don't use a...
