The Newlink 24 Port Fast Ethernet Switch is designed for users needing to create or expand a 10/100Mbps network efficiently. Its key benefit is providing high-performance, seamless connectivity with an easy-to-use, low-cost solution, while its caveat is that it operates at Fast Ethernet speeds (10/100Mbps) and not Gigabit speeds. This unmanaged switch features auto-negotiation, auto-MDI/MDIX, and an eco-friendly design with energy-saving technologies.

This switch supports Fast Ethernet speeds, meaning it operates at either 10Mbps or 100Mbps per port. It does not support Gigabit (1000Mbps) speeds.
No, you can use standard Ethernet cables (Cat 5e or Cat 6 are recommended for optimal performance). The switch also supports Auto-MDI/MDIX, so you don't need crossover cables.
This is an unmanaged switch. It is designed for simple plug-and-play operation and does not have advanced configuration options like VLANs or QoS settings.
The switch uses innovative technologies to reduce power consumption. For example, it can automatically reduce power usage for ports that are inactive or have a connected device that is in standby mode.
Yes, you can connect this switch to your router to expand the number of wired internet connections available in your home or office. The switch itself does not provide internet access.
The switch comes with a 12v 0.5A PSU (power adapter) and a user manual. You will need to provide your own Ethernet cables to connect your devices.
Yes, the 24-port capacity and reliable 10/100Mbps performance make it an excellent choice for connecting multiple computers, printers, and other network devices in a home office environment.
Verify that the power adapter is securely connected to both the switch and a working power outlet. Ensure all Ethernet cables are properly plugged into both the switch and the connected devices. Check the LED indicators for link lights.
Try using a different Ethernet cable and a different port on the switch. Ensure the network adapter on the device is enabled and functioning correctly. Reboot the connected device.
Confirm that all connected devices are negotiating at 100Mbps (if supported). Check for faulty cables or devices that might be causing network congestion. Ensure the switch is not overloaded with traffic beyond its capacity. For expanding a network, ensure the uplink connection to the router is stable and at the expected speed.
Check the power connection. If the power LED is off, there may be an issue with the power adapter or the switch itself. If link/activity LEDs are off, ensure the Ethernet cable is properly connected and the device it's connected to is powered on and has network activity.
