Install the Switch and Connect the Other
Devices
1. Place the switch on a flat surface using either the attached feet or the provided vertical
stand.
2. For each device, insert one end of an Ethernet cable into the port in the device and insert
the other end into one of the Ethernet ports on the switch.
Note: If you have more than 5 or 8 devices to connect to this switch, you must
connect them to a hub or other switch and then connect that hub or switch to this
switch.
3. Connect the power adapter’s cord into the back of the switch and then plug the adapter
into a power source (such as a wall socket or power strip).
The Power light should light up.
The corresponding port number for each connected and powered device should light
when link (connection), and flash when activity occurs.
Note: If any light doesn’t operate as indicated, go to the
Troubleshooting
section.

Troubleshooting
The Power light is not lit
The switch has no power.
• Make sure the power cord is properly connected to the switch.
• Make sure the power adapter is properly connected to a functioning power outlet. If it’s in
a power strip, make sure the power strip is turned on. If the socket is controlled by a light
switch, make sure the switch is in the on position.
• Make sure you are using the NETGEAR power adapter supplied with your switch.
The Port number light is not lit for a connected device or
stays on continuously
There’s a hardware connection problem.
• Make sure the cable connectors are securely plugged in at the switch and the device.
• Make sure the connected device is turned on.
• If the Ethernet cable is connected to a NIC or other Ethernet adapter, make sure the card
or adapter is installed correctly and is working.
• Make sure the cable is less than 328 feet (100 meters).
