Low-speed connections through network switches
Low-speed connections through network switches
In short, the bottleneck comes from the network switch itself. Even though the router supports gigabit speeds, the three devices connected through it are capped at around 40Mbps each. The switch is likely the limiting factor. Checking the switch’s configuration might reveal more details about its speed limits or traffic shaping settings.
What are the performance details? When only one PC is active, how does the speed compare? Plugging the PC straight into the router, leaving everything else off, what connection speeds do you see?
Check your internet speed online and see how it performs during regular use.
Your internet speed is determined by your connection. It doesn’t show everything. How quickly are you transferring files between computers? Testing with iPerf can help you check speeds between devices.
Same outcome with just one PC linked to the switch. Wow, identical performance even when connected straight to the router, which suggests an issue with the router itself. I understand, but this matches typical browser download speeds, which is the usual scenario for me.
The information you shared is from a website that explains internet router setup. The link you provided leads to details about connecting an internet box to a device.
You receive X Mbps from your ISP. The problem appears to be with your internet connection rather than your router or switch. Your download speeds are limited by your internet connection, so an internal speed test would help assess the situation. If you're unsatisfied, reach out to your ISP for a better plan or check for any issues with your DSL connection.
Also, maximum speed must reach 300Mbps in both directions via fiber.
Consider reaching out to your ISP for assistance. If your devices don’t reach that internet speed, it may indicate a problem with your connection. For testing your local network speed, tools such as iPerf can be helpful.
