Hey guys,
Long story short I bought a D-Link DGS105 switch and for whatever reason it drops internet connection from full speed then reconnects to the limited 100Mbps. It sometimes can run a speed test just fine and other times it won't as well as internet browsing.
I have Shaw Internet Fibre 750+. Directly connected to the modem I receive about 820Mbps. I was having issues with the TP-Link Archer C7 AC1750 where it the limiting factor for a bit. Sorted that out and now from modem (in bridge mode) to router to PC I was getting almost 800Mbps at a slower gradual climb. Now connected from modem to router to switch I can hold about 800Mbps for what seems to be a limited amount of time before it decides to crash my connection and lower to 100Mbps connection. The switch is connected to my wife and I's PC's, however hers is never really on while the disconnects happen. Any Ideas ? Did I happen on a bad switch?
Side note. When I first set it up it would crash on every speed test until I left it alone overnight. To which it became more stable but now it crashes intermittently.
Edit: Sorry forgot to mention all the cables are Cat5e and Cat 6. and I have ruled them all out as not a contributing factor by switching them around. (as far as I can tell)
