Why is my internet speed FASTER through a network switch?
Test setup #1 Computer -> CAT6 cable -> Xfinity Gateway = 70mbps…
Test setup #2 Computer -> CAT6 cable -> Gigabit Switch -> CAT6 cable -> Xfinity Gateway = 95mbps…
How is this possible?
Same computer, same Xfinity Gateway, same CAT6 cables, same internet speed test website and server (Google default for Chicago)...
Test was repeated multiple times with both setups and results are consistently the same. 25mbps faster using a cheap Netgear gigabit switch inline with my computer.
Any thoughts?
