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!
Update!
So I ran a Cat 6 up to the switch in the loft and connected the PC and repeated the test and got the same result so everything is pointing to the PCs but what I haven't got a clue. However, I noticed when up in the loft the third link light on the SFP ports is out and now the interface is reporting as down in the UI, but is still active as sending traffic and working. I am going to swap the SFP module to be safe and I have a spare fiber cable to do some further testing, but it doesn't make any sense now!
