I have a Max Transit Pro and I am trying to use a Netgear GS308E to expand ports and route a VLAN on one port. When I direct connect my PC to the LAN port I am getting between 100Mbps and 170Mbps. When I run the PC → Switch → Transit Duo Pro My speeds are cut down to under 20Mbps. I have also tried two other switches factory reset with no VLANs and they are having the same throttling effect.
Any ideas as to why this is happening? Is this a negotiation issue. Lights on both devices show 1000M. I am a novice at networking and understand just enough to be dangerous. For Dummies answers appreciated.
