It appears the speed drops significantly after passing through the switch. Even with a gigabit switch, performance varies depending on the path and devices involved. The CAT6 cables seem fine, but the switch might be handling traffic unevenly or introducing latency. Checking for congestion, firmware updates, or other network devices on the switch could help identify the issue.
I don’t have much information, sorry. We cover 300 up to 300 down. If I remember right, megabits is the standard internet speed measurement. What I’m sharing here is just what speed tests indicate. The problem is that the internet speeds passing through the switch are roughly 50-100 down, whereas before the switch they were around 300 down. From what I understand, speeds shouldn’t drop so much through a switch unless something is wrong.
Modern switches generally use GbE, while older ones are usually FastEthernet or 100Mb. For clarity, but unrelated to the discussion: internet speed and network performance are typically expressed in megabits per second (shown as Mb/s, Mbits/s, or Mbps). There are 8 bits in a byte. File transfers on Windows are measured in MB/s, since the system tends to be tricky about this.
Oh thank you for the information. This is the switch I am using https://www.amazon.com/Aumox-Ethernet-Un...142&sr=8-4
