slower internet gs305
Hello, I'm experiencing speeds that fluctuate between full and less than 1/3 of my ISP. I sadly only have a 3 Down by 1 Up speed where I'm located and a drop to 1 by 0.5 is basically stop me in m...
My internet speed has dropped from 340 to 27 since installing the Netgear GS305.
My Set Up: I have run a Cat7 Shielded cable that is directly connected into my router, to my home theater room located about 70 feet away. The Cat7 cable is directly connected to my Nvidia Shield and using OOKLA (speedtest), my speed is 340.
I bought a Netgear GS305 switch so I could also connect a streaming box for whole house music system (Radio Tunes) which is located next to the Nvidia Shield in my home theater. I installed the Netgear GS305. I connected the Cat7 cable to the middle plug on the GS305 and then connected using Cat7 cables to both my Nvidia Shield and a streaming box for Radio Tunes. I checked my speeds with OOKLA (speedtest) and only got 27.
I read many reviews and it was stated there was no loss of speed when using the GS305.
I would appreciate any feedback you might have and did I buy the right 'switch'?
