Trying to figure out the best way to set up a home network.
I have a cable modem that runs to a gigabit switch where I have multiple computers in a LAN. The problem is that when the computer is connected directly to the router, I get speeds of upwards of 200 Mbps. When I insert the switch into the network, the speed drops to 20 Mbps or less. The switch indicator lights show that all connections are gigabit.
I just finished upgrading the house network to CAT6E. I was using a D-Link DGS-1005D Gigabit Switch, and have swapped that out for a Netgear GS105. THe Cable Modem is a Comcast, fairly recent model (within the last 3 or 4 months), I can get the particulars if it is important.
