I have 5 static Ip's from my ISP. Currently I have the gateway in bridge mode, unmanaged switch, 5 routers(one static ip from ISP to each), switch for each router, then 7 computers for each switch.
Switches are 8port tplink unmanaged gigabit
Routers are tplink gigabit routers
The setup works ok but it isn't rock solid.
The only goal of this setup is to achieve an internet connection using several different ISP IP addresses for groups of computers.
The issue I am having is that when 35 users are surfing the web heavily, I start to get a slowdown. The ISP said I needed to increase my internet speed. I did. I went from 100 to 150. There was almost no improvement if any.
This told me that something is holding me back. When all of the computers are needing data from the internet at the same time there is a bottleneck. I think it could be the gateway itself (comcast) even though it's in bridge mode or possibly the first switch. I don't have much networking knowledge so I started with this setup. It does work, but I think it could work better. I'd like a better solution so that user aren't experiencing slow downs waiting for webpages when usage times on this network are high. I'd like to be able to take advantage of the faster internet speed and add more end users and ip addresses. I should be able to add more to my network with the jump in speed from 100-150 if things were working right in my opinion.
