Upgrade not that fast...

[GeekaWhat]

I have a pair of ethernet plugs running at 200 Mpbs and a switch running at 200MPs and 2 ethernet ports running at unto 1000Mpbs. I know the speeds shouldn't be that great but I'm only getting like 180mb in like 4 minutes. Any router config or such I can do to speed this up help please!

 

Thanks,
James

Umm if I read that right then you're capping yourself at your switch.

Get rid of the 200Mbps things (your ethernet plugs and a switch?)

That is capping it to 180Mbps.

if you're on about these: http://static.computertotaal.nl/uploads/g/4/g4wkrtzbme6gf0r4.png

with the 200Mbps plugs, toss them in a fire, they're horrid.. they are most likely the issue here.

Ah Ok,

wow I have no idea what a 200Mbs "plug" is?? never had anything run at any speed other than 10/100/1000 Mbs

generally, when something is gigabit, but is too crappy to actually provide gigabit, they'll label it something like that.

 

(or routers that can have a 100Mbit stream between ports 1 and 2, and another between 3 and 4)

 

oh, and all wifi devices have gloriously random numbers that never actually deliver.

I had pretty solid experiences with gigabit in like 2003ish so surprised to see that in 2015

two words: TP-LINK and D-link (and well, honestly any other crappy router brand)
