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...
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
From what I recall, there wasn't model numbers on the diagram. Just generic "modem" "voip" "router".
At least listing which devices you have would be beneficial.
The diagram as shown is a recipe to a networking nightmare.
First, the modem - truly a modem-only device or also a NAT router? Probably a modem with NAT router ... because most ISP only allow one public IP address on a modem and you would have even more issues.
Then the phone abused as a bridge device to connect the other devices to the Internet and/or the effective router (the modem). As plemans already mentioned, well possible many VoIP phones and the built-in bridge are Fast Ethernet only.
Finally another NAT router with it's WAN port creating yet another network? Or is this router configured as a plain access point?
OK, I see my diagram has posted.
Thank you, schumaku, for your frankness. And yes, my setup is a hot mess. I'm sure plemans will agree. I had a feeling the VOIP might be an issue. I wish there was another set up so as not to put so much strain on the VOIP and everything else going through it.
Forgive me, what is a NAT router? Plain access point?

Sorry about that! Here you go:
MODEM: ARRIS TM1602A
ROUTER: SAGEMCOM F@ST 5260cv
VOIP: OOMA
Go arris---->sagemcom---->switch/ooma/devices
Ooma devices are only 10/100mbps devices. not gigabit (so far)
