Slower speeds from switch than direct connect with modem/router
Sorry not very literate on all of this. I will try to give as much information as possible.
I have a 1Gig subscription with Centurylink.
I have their router / modem - Model C3000Z
I bought the GS316 16-Port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Switch.
I am trying to run Cat 6 ethernet cable to many locations throughout my house and garage in the walls.
Before I started to place the lines, I decided to test the cable and connection with the new switch and router / modem.
If I direct connect to router / modem, my pc will get around 900 Mbps download, around 200 Mbps upload, ping 2 for a speed test.
If I go from wall socket direct to switch, then to router / modem. Then I run cable lines from the switch directly to my pc, I get around 47 both for down and up load, ping 3.
Why is the switch slowing the speeds down? The cables are working fine when directly connected to Modem / Router without the switch. However, if i add the switch in the mix, it slows down worse than Wi-Fi.
Any suggestions?

Re: Slower speeds from switch than direct connect with modem/router
You need to go
router/modem------->switch----->then devices.
From the way you described it, you're going switch------>modem/router

As @plemans says you need to get the right layout.
You might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers about your hardware, in the appropriate section for your device. That's probably here:
