Hi, I see the issue here. Your Netgear M4100-26G appears to behave more like a hub than a switch. You notice all activity lights blinking together and a steady flow of traffic across all LAN ports on your devices. This suggests it's not properly routing data. Since you haven’t configured any VLANs, that shouldn’t be the main cause. Double-check your configuration settings and ensure the switch is correctly set up as a switch, not a hub.

Have you attempted to reset the switch configuration? Checked the bandwidth usage? It seems activity varies across ports—some are low while others are high. Make sure all data is being sent to every port using a traffic monitor.

Otherwise, consider disconnecting each gadget individually until the noise subsides. This might reveal whether a specific device is overwhelming the switch with signals.

It seems unlikely it's functioning as a hub; you might only be observing information being transmitted to the broadcast address.

I was also considering this, though some Windows versions (8 and Server 2012 R2) might notice a steady flow of around 30 megabits per second. This seems typical based on my network configuration. (HDMI over Ethernet)
