Ensure the included power adapter is connected to a mains outlet and the switch is powered on before use.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, use quality Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cables and place the switch in a ventilated area to avoid overheating. When connecting multiple high-bandwidth devices, distribute traffic across ports and connect the switch to a gigabit-capable router or uplink to maintain full throughput. Regularly check cable connections and LED link indicators to verify active links.
