I recently installed a Netgear 1Gbit switch to connect my PC and printer (and other devices in the future) to the network, but discovered that the ports only allow 100M/bits to pass through. How do I get my PC back up to 1 G/bit internet download? I am still quite new in this field.

Good morning
I know this switch to be indestructible and very reliable. For small networks, it's really the only one for me. 
I understand the question to mean that only the left-hand LED lights up on each of the connections. I wouldn't be surprised if the printer simply can't do more than 100 Mbps. If the PC is not 10 years old or older, it should actually support gbit or higher. You can set this in the adapter settings under Windows (I assume...). It has also happened to me that Windows set the interface to 100mbit. Then simply unplug the cable and plug it in again. You may also be able to set it on the printer. Consult the manual or the search engine of your choice.
