Big download overloads network GS108Ev3

Hi all,

 

Since a few days I installed two GS108E switches in my home.

Almost everything works fine, except when I start a big download on my Playstation 5. When it's downloading a game the webinterface of both switches becomes unresponsive, also IPTV stops working. When I pause the download on the playstation everything goes back to normal instantly.

 

To me feels like the GS108E can't handle the traffic. 

 

I tried setting up QoS and updating the firmware of both GS108E, but this didn't solve the problem. 

 

This is the setup of my network

GS108E --> Devices

GS108E --> Devices (including the playstation)

 

Hopefully anyone knows how to solve this. 

 

Regards,

Joost

    Certain traffic (like http and ICMP Multicast [live TV] controls) does have to pass and handled through the tiny embedded controller. For example http which is known to have an impact, see the release notes.

     

    YeZ can you challenge switch engineering please?

      Ok I understand!
      And would there be a way to prioritize IPTV traffic over the PlayStation’s traffic?
