5-Port Home Theater & Gaming Network Switch GS605AV

Estimated installation time: 5-10 minutes

Package Contents

The package includes:

• 5-Port Home Theater & Gaming Network Switch GS605AV

• Power adapter

• Installation Guide (this document)

• Warranty/Support information card

Prepare to Install the Switch

Decide where you want to place the switch. Find a flat horizontal surface such as a table, desk or shelf.

Make sure the selected location is:

• Not in direct sunlight or near a heater or heating vent.

• Not cluttered or crowded. There should be at least 2 inches (5 cm) of clear space on all sides of the switch.

• Well ventilated (especially if it is in a closet).

Note: The switch is not designed to be stacked on top of other devices.

Install the Switch and Connect the Other Devices

1. Place the switch on a flat surface.

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. If you have more devices to connect than the number of ports on the switch, connect the devices to another switch or hub and then connect that switch or hub to this switch.

3. If you add devices using another switch or hub, make sure the QoS category of the devices match the GS605AV port used by the switch or hub.

4. Connect the power adapter cord into the back of the switch and then plug the adapter into a power source (such as a wall socket or power strip).

5. Check the LEDs to confirm that the switch is connected correctly.

• The Power LED is lit.

• Each port on the back has associated with it a bicolor LED on the front.

– Green: 1000 Mbps link

– Amber: 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps link

– Blinking: Activity

Note: If any light does not operate as indicated, go to the Troubleshooting section.

Below is a possible GS605AV configuration. Connect either port 1 or 2 (yellow port) to the LAN port of your router. Connect your latency sensitive device (IP phone) to port 5 (dark green port).

Depending on the speed of your network devices, you need a Category 3 (10 Mbps), Category 5 (100 Mbps), or Category 5e (1000 Mbps) Ethernet cable with RJ-45 connectors for each device you want to connect to the switch. Each Ethernet cable must be less than 328 feet (100 meters).

Note: The GS605AV will optimize audio/video streaming prioritization if it can recognize the pattern. If the GS605AV cannot recognize the pattern, you still can use port-based QoS to manually configure priority for your devices.

Troubleshooting

The Power light is not lit.

The switch has no power.

• Make sure that the power cord is correctly connected to the switch.

• Make sure that the power adapter is connected to a functioning power outlet. If it is in a power strip, make sure that the power strip is turned on. If the socket is controlled by a light switch, make sure that the switch is in the on position.

• Make sure that 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 is a hardware connection problem.

• Make sure that the cable connectors are securely plugged in at the switch and the device.

• Make sure that the connected device is turned on.

• If the Ethernet cable is connected to a NIC or other Ethernet adapter, make sure that the card or adapter is installed correctly and is working.

• Make sure that the cable is less than 328 feet (100 meters).

• Make sure that you use a high quality cable, especially for the gigabit connection.
