Okay so I have 2 custom built computers, one for my Desktop, another for my NAS. Both have a 1gbps NIC. The NAS is running Windows server 2016 and the desktop is running Windows 10 Pro. I have an Arris modem/router combo.
Whenever ANYTHING happens that involves anything moving files back and forth for backup, everything else is "congested" . Webpages won't load, they try but it's in vain. I kept a latency test up and it goes into the 2000ms, both computers are essentially useless to do anything as long as my NAS is getting files from my Desktop. Both duplex settings are set to auto-negotiate. I bought a NETGEAR-GS108T-200NAS switch and plugged them both into it. Everything is still horribly slow but I can see it effectively bouncing between loading websites and transferring files. Youtube videos barely load at 144p and web pages are slow but doable.
This is not acceptable. I need to be able to freely backup files on a schedule and not have it affect anything else. The transfer speeds are like 7-13mb/sec, That may be enough to fill the pipeline of a 100mb NIC but I have 1gps. I have spent hours, and hours and hours looking into this. I can't find topics other than "Slow SMB speeds", "Poor transfer speeds over VPN" and things that are useless to me. I talked to my coworker that's a network engineer and he said that shouldn't be happening. You would think if this was expected behavior it would be more findable but it's not.
What do I have to research (If anything) to configure this switch to do proper QoS if that is the culprit. Otherwise, can someone explain to me why doing something that is not using the Internet in any regard, takes that big of a hit to access the Internet, is it by design unable to be properly segregated? If so, what are my options to get the result I want.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
