Netgear switch lowing my speeds

LostKeyboard · Dec 25, 2016

Hello all, I just bought a netgear FS205 and I tested my download speeds and they literally cut in half. I went from 120Mbps to 60Mbps. I was wondering why did this happen and anyway to fix it? Thanks

An FS205 is a 100Mbit switch. You will never get above 90 (or so) Mbit with that switch. If you have 120Mbit before it was because your entire network was gigabit. You need a different switch.

Anyones you recommend that are gigabit and are cheap, I only need a 5 port.

Never used this, but the purchasers on NewEgg like it -- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833156250
I HAVE used plenty of Prosafe switches -- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833122128
