GS105 slowing down internet speed
I have a 5 port switch connected to my pc, VOIP (phone), homeplug (wired ethernet), and wireless router. My internet download speeds are running at about half of what they should be (compared to w...
Thanks for the explanation on the switch lights.
Yes, around 92.5 mbps (download) and 26.6 (upload). The download speed was upward of 200 mbps when I connected directly to modem (without switch).
I wish this picture I uploaded would display here but so far nothing. It shows my setup.
So what is connecting to the port showing the 100 Mb/s link only? Suspect something in the data path between computer and the Internet - thus the "slower" speed...
Try a different cable - Gigabit (both LED on) requires four working pairs.
The mods are always working on allowing in-line images. You could add it as an attachment if you are in a hurry.
Thanks. I actually did try a different cable for the "single" light port but it was the same issue. Also tried a different device in that port and both lights worked fine. The cable currently connects to the "home" port on my VOIP (the other port on the VOIP device is "modem." I think my diagram will explain things better. How do I "attach" a photo? Do you mean "choose file?" If so, I did that and got the same outcome. Guess we'll have to wait for moderator to approve it.
What modem do you have?
What voip?
What router?
And how is it laid out?
See in my signature how I have my setup laid out? try that with model numbers
I worked too hard on that diagram. Let's wait for it to show up before going further... thx
