Device experiencing issues during file downloads due to router malfunctions.
Hi, when I need to download large files like games or Netflix, my Bridget router often crashes. Could switching to a switch help? Should I connect my PC and the bridged router through the switch instead of just the router directly? So the path would be Fiber → Switch → Bridge → PC? What’s your current network setup?
The bridged router model isn't specified in the details provided. Including a switch doesn't resolve the issue because the traffic will continue to reach the bridge.
The router is a TP-Link WDR 4300. I want to link the PC to the switch so data travels directly from the switch to my PC, bypassing the bridged router.
You mentioned confusion about the order. It looks like you're wondering if connecting a PC directly to a fiber line and router in a specific sequence works best. The correct path is typically Fiber → Router → Switch → Bridge → PC.
Sure thing! Let's simplify that.
It means the best setup is Fiber first, then Router, followed by Switch, Bridge, and finally the PC.
Apologies for the confusion!
Everything looks fine, but I’m having trouble seeing clearly today. The setup should ease the strain on the bridge router and prevent further problems.
