Switch limiting my internet speed?

[Oberon.Smite]

I have the 3com Superstack II Switch 1000 that I have recently installed in my network. My network setup looks like this 

 

The problem is that without the switch in the way, I get 60mb down, but with it I only get around 7mb down. This is not only with youtube and stuff, it is also with in-network file transfers through Windows Homegroup. Is the switch just too old or what?

That's because it only has 10BaseT ports which are 10Meg ports

So I'm guessing I'm limited to 10mb/s with this thing?

Yup

You can pick up a switch capable of doing gigabit for like $30 to $50 for a 5 to 8 port, like this:

Thanks a shit ton man. Looks like the old one is going up for sale to fund a new gigabit switch! In the meantime I'll use the extra ports on the other router.

Not to discourage you, but you probably can't get more that $1 for that thing. Last time I worked with 10base t was for setting up a nostalgia network.

Could take it apart and put the board on the shelf or a wall
