Wierd Network Behavious
HI, I am looking for a bit of advice. I have recently purchased the new Quad band Orbi and it's great, exactly what it said on the box and behaving perfectly. However, I have this weird problem whi...
Further update!
So, after connecting a Cat 6 cable from the PC and the same switch as the Mac Pro, I was still getting the same results. After much discussion with various colleagues, one of them suggested going and downloading TCP optimizer at this link
After a quick look around the app and having it look at my setup if found a few missing registry tweeks and as soon as they applied them wallop, speed was back, for sanity, I applied it to the other PC in the office and once again it worked a treat. I still don't know what it was that changed it but it looks like it was a config issue on the systems rather than the switches, which makes sense after connecting the PC to the main switch. I have replaced the SFP modules going from the loft switch down to the GS110, maybe that also helped either way problem solved!
Hello MIke,
Ok, these nice Orbi Quad Band systems out of the box, put in place as a router with a wired connection to the Internet, and some additional satellites set up around the house, are making up a wireless mesh backhaul. Uneducated guess is that traffic, from wireless computers, mobile, does make use of this wireless backhaul.
Sure, you mentioned having fixed network connection, some fiber, interconnecting some switches. Point to point connected, these read like Gigabit capable switches, so reaching gigabit speed should be possible easily. No, I don't talk of concurrent activities. now, at this point we know nothing on how your network is configured, and how the stuff made use of. Yes, wired. So tell us more. No idea what advise I should put up here.
-Kurt.
