Question Large home network advice please

[ray bright]

I live in france and have a large house with barns etc, I originally used 8 google wifi units to spread the wifi about but slowly have introduced cat 5, as I have added cameras and alexa around the network I started to have slow down and cameras going off line Alexa stopping etc, I have now rewired with cat 6 so all the google units are wired and recently connected the ip cameras to the NVR directly to stop them hogging bandwidth. It has helped but it still has problems. I have several unmanaged switches as well in the network and I use starlink as in the middle of nowhere.

as an example I use a Logitech remote and hub and it might take 10 to 15 seconds or longer at times to operate where in the uk it’s almost instant and the cameras are slow to respond.

can anyone please advise how to improve my situation

Are there a mix of physical cat5/6 cables and wiFi points on your network ?

Verify that ALL your wired connections shown on your diagram are gigabit.
I have never used google WIFI units, so I don't know what types of information the management interface provides.

All switches are gigabit and hubs, only cat5 cable left is between barn and summerhouse as I could not be asked to dig it all up again

Only cat5 is from barn to summerhouse as a chore to dig garden up

The switches may be gigabit capable, but do the LEDs show that you have a gigabit link. THAT is the important thing, especially if you have terminated your own cables.

All green

different vendors probably have different colors indicating different speed.

green LED can be either 100Mbps or gigabits/s

What NVR device do you have ? brand & model? how many cameras? wired or wireless? what's the resolution recording setting for each camera?

If the logitech remote and hub is slow, sounds like wifi channel issue. Switch Google wifi to another channel and see,

** do not own anything you have **

Foscam NVR 6 cameras turned down to low on resolution and now directly plugged in to NVR not on the network only via nvr
