8 way switch FS 108

Hi can anyone please help I have just had talktalk fast fiber fitted 500mb I am getting 500mb from the router to the 8 way switch but when measured from the out side of the 8 way switch to the tv I only get  90mb is this a limited 0utput from each port on the switch and do I need a switch that will let 500mb through each port.

 

many thanks to all

       Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
    for Documentation.  Get the Product Data Sheet.  Read.  Look for "1000"
    or "gigabit".

     

       When the FS108 was designed, 100Mb/s was considered "Fast".

       "0utput" and "Input".  Ethernet is bidirectional.

       Yes.  Look for a model whose specs mention "1000" or "gigabit".
