I am very new to the networking. I have recently installed a 48 Port switch unmanaged ( Netgear GS348 ) I currently have about 22 ports connected to it. I have 400mbps internet service. I have my modem connected to my router then one port to my switch. connected to the switch is a few televisions, 5 PCs + a server a printer 2 playstations. It is possible to have 3 to 4 PCs and a tv all running at the same time along with the server running 24/7. My router also has a number of wireless smart devices connected about 30 to 40 which is the reason i wanted to put in the network to remove as much as possible from the wireless system.
Q1 - Is the max speed i will get 1000mbps because i only have one cable connected to the router?
Q2 - If i connect multiple ports to the network switch would that increase the speeds i would get? Ex - 2 cables from router to switch = 2000 MBPS?
Thanks all in advance for your help.
