[SOLVED] New ISP Speed is being throttled by my switch

[okrobie]

I prefer to use wired connection from my ISP's router to my desktops. Their router only has one 10baseT output connector so I distribute through a swith. If I just plug one workstation directly into their router I get full advertised speed to that computer 950 mb/sec as measured with speedtest.net but if I go through the switch, I only see about 100 mb/sec. I've tried several switches Netgear ProSAFE FS105, GOALAKE POE104D, and a NORTEL BES 120-48T-PWR Is this normal? Do I need to purchase an expensive switch? One of my workstations has WI-FI and when I use that, I get about 250 mb/sec. Thanks for any help. Jim

PS: I never measured my speeds on my old ISP

Are you sure it's 10baseT ? that's 10Mbps only. What router model?

Found all of your swiches are 10/100, except GOALAKE POE104D has one gigabits uplink, what do you expect?

most likely cable problem

It's RJ-45 butI really don't know/ I'm really old so 10baseT is all I know about. The router is state of the art because I'm getting 950 mb/sec to the cmputer that I'm connecting direct.

I'll try a different cable to the switch.

You need to buy a gigabits (1000BaseT) switch

Thanks. Can you recommend a model that won't cost an arm and a leg?

It's all standard and cheap. Dont think you need managed switch
