High-speed switch limits PC performance to 100 Mbit/s
High-speed switch limits PC performance to 100 Mbit/s
We've verified the details now. I had to walk you through this since it's something that could definitely happen, and we'd be experimenting without any clear reason. At this stage, if I had everything, I'd test various cables and ports on the switch between the router and the router itself. The only option left is to try a different switch.
I checked using the switch on a notebook, not my PC, and it functioned properly there. I'm puzzled about this difference.
The problem originally involved the switch and router, not the notebook. Ensure the notebook is disconnected and verify the interface details on the routers. The link between any device and the switch shouldn't affect the switch-router connection.
When the notebook is disconnected, the router port indicates zero. Placing it directly into the router shows 1000
You were trying to see how the router behaved when the notebook was disconnected. I followed your steps and checked the router's speed, which still showed 1Gb/s. You wanted to confirm that the connection between the notebook and the switch remained unaffected by removing the notebook.
Certainly, yes it remains at 1Gb/s. It's been a long time since I've had to focus on network work. Apologies for any confusion.
