Being bottlenecked by my switch?

[Free Napkins]

I seem to be losing speed at my switch. I have a gigabit capable switch but when the main connection (which i tested to have full speed) goes through the switch, every device connected to it goes down to 50-100 mb/s.

 

The switch connects all the wall ports in the house. They all use CAT6 cables. I even have one connection that goes from the switch into a router in the basement. The router gets 150 mb/s but when my computer is plugged into said router it goes down to about 50 mb/s. My dad's computer which is going straight to the switch gets roughly 80 mb/s. Any idea why this is?

 

Thanks in advance for any help!

WHat linkn speed do you see?

 

That seem like a 100m link, which is often caused by a bad cable.

What is the issue? Is it to do with internal network speeds, or internet speed?

What is your internet plan speed capacity?

 

And do you know the difference between Mb/s (megabits per second) and MB/s (Megabytes per second)?

I don't know much honestly, sorry. We pay for 300 up 300 down. If i recall correctly megabits is the internet speed one. Im purely reporting what speedtests are saying. The issue is that the internet speeds that go through the switch are about 50-100 down. However the speed  before the switch are around 300 down. As far as I understand, the speed shouldn't decrease that much through a switch if at all.

Okay. What is the switch? Modern Switches are usually Gb, older switches are typically FastEthernet or 100Mb.

 

For your information, but not related to the thread:

Spoiler

internet and network speed are usually measured in in Megabits per second (written as Mb/s, or sometimes Mbits/s or Mbps).

 

 

There's 8 Bits in a Byte.

 

Windows file transfer talks in terms of MB/s (Megabytes per second), because windows likes to be difficult.

Oh thank you for the information. This is the switch I am using https://www.amazon.com/Aumox-Ethernet-Unmanaged-Traffic-Optimization/dp/B07XCDVTDQ/ref=sr_1_4?crid=3TBK8J9T01I7O&dchild=1&keywords=aumox+5+port+gigabit+ethernet+switch&qid=1618802187&sprefix=aumox%2Caps%2C142&sr=8-4
