5G, 2.5G, 1G, and 100M. Use the cables that we recommend on the other

Cables and Speeds
The following table describes the network cables that you can use for the switch
connections and the speeds that these cables can support, up to
100 meters (328 feet).
Speed Cable Type
100 Mbps Category 5 (Cat 5) of higher rated
1 Gbps, 2.5 Gbps, or 5 Gbps Category 5e (Cat 5e) or higher rated
10 Gbps Category 6A (Cat 6A) or higher rated
Note: For speeds of 10 Gbps, if the cable length is shorter than 55 meters
(180 feet), you can use a Category 6 (Cat 6) cable.
Configure the Switch
By default, the switch receives an IP address from a DHCP server (or router that
functions as a DHCP server) in your network. To configure the switch, access the
switch from a Windows-based computer, from a Mac, or through the ProSAFE
Plus Utility. If you do not use a DHCP server or the switch requires a static
network address, configure the switch with a static IP address.
Note: A er you configure the switch for your network, you can use the NETGEAR
Insight app on a mobile device to discover the switch in your network, register the
switch, and display basic switch information in the app. To download the app, on
your iOS or Android mobile device, go to the app store or Google Play and search
for NETGEAR Insight.
