Speed reduced to half during simultaneous usage by two people
Speed reduced to half during simultaneous usage by two people
Hello everyone, I recently purchased a switch (D-Link DGS-108) to link two PCs in my room with my router. I checked the speeds on both devices, and they performed well individually. The issue arises when measuring both at once—the connection drops to half its speed. It doesn’t happen if one PC is connected to the Wi-Fi and the other to the switch. Anyone have experience with this situation? Thanks for reading.
It sounds like you're asking if having multiple connections affects speed, such as 10MBps with one and 5MBps with two PCs.
Based on general knowledge, a switch is designed to redirect or control signals, not to slow them down.
A gigabit switch supports all eight connections simultaneously.
Each port supports gigabit speeds. The combined switch capacity for simultaneous connections should be close to 8gbps.
