Gigabit switch TL-SG108E V6 losing gigabit connection
I recently upraded the firmware on my TL-SG108E V6 gigabit switch to TL-SG108E(UN)_V6_1.0.0 Build 20230218. Prior to that, it was on Build 2022xxxx. While I was on the previous build, one of my ports that feeds my office downgraded to 100MBps unbeknownst to me.
After running, Speedtest and troubleshooting, I found that the one port was showing color orange, 100MBps versus green, 1000MBps. I decided to unplug and replug the one port. That fixed it.
(1) Why could this have happened?
(2) Was this something fixed in this latest firmware?
(3) Can I configure in the Easy Smart Configuration Utility the affected port to make it always set to 1000MBps and never auto switch back? In doing so, could that cause a problem? Is this a workaround or do I have an issue somewhere else.
I purchased the switch March 2023.
Help!
