Hello,
I recently acquired some smart home devices and the hub for them requires a wired ethernet connection. My router only has 1 ethernet out so I decided to get a switch. I purchased a Netgear GS605 Gigabit 5 port switch. My connection speed without the switch, directly into the router is 200Mb/s down and 35Mb/s up. When I plug in the switch the download speed goes down to 95~ Mb/s down and stays at 35 up. I tested the wireless to my devices with and without the switch and they stayed consistent at 200Mb/s so I imagine the issue is the switch. It says directly on the box that it supports 10/100/1000 Mb/s connections but I can't seem to get it, and it's an unmanaged switch so there aren't any specific ports or configurations I can play with.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get the full speed or do I need to buy something else? Thanks in advance
