Switch limiting to 100Mbps
Hi,
I bought my router a few years ago, I've used it in several places in the house. However only today did I actually check the download speed through the switch. From my PC I can connect directly...
Which switch are you talking about? Your post is kinda confusing.
The RAX120 has 4 ethernet ports in a line at the back. This set of ports is referred to as a switch. In the old days it would have been a hub. In the case of a hub all ethernet frames received on one port are rebroadcast on all the other ports.
Today you only have a switch. A switch learns what MAC addresses are connected to each port and only sends the ethernet frame to the port where the destination MAC address has been detected.
Broadcast frames are still forwarded to all the ports.
