I'm sure you're right but wouldn't that incur a price increase most home networkers aren't ready to accept? Im not sure at what price point you get managed switches, have some product examples? My Linksys was 295 SEK (~40 $US).

Sooo I got a new switch, this time not a netgear. Even though its worked nicely for a few years, maybe 3 ish, I dont think it should lose gigabit functionality like it seem to have done. Id rather it stop working at all rather than report gigabit connections and only deliver 100Mbit. My new...

Im getting alot of red text on black background: eg: Header checksum: 0x0000 [incorrect, should be 0xd796 (maybe caused by "IP checksum offload"?)] Edit: seems that this would be common. Never mind me.... It seems I'm still at a loss when it comes to packets analyzing. I have no idea what to do...

Fair enough, I stand corrected. Installing Wireshark now. Tried it when it was called Ethereal many years ago but couldnt wrap my head around it but Ill try and see what happens. Any tips on what to look for? Edit: On the rest of your post, I think I've tried most configs of switch...

I would disagree since trying to gigabit with inferior cables say cat5 or poorly crimped ones would result in the switch telling me with the amber light I only get 10/100. I would try new cables if it werent so damn long ones I need. Ive tried moving some equipment to test at closer range...

Update: Tried file transfer between PC1 and PC3 bypassing the v2 switch. 100+ MB/s transfers was the result. All cabling unchanged. With the v2 switch I got a max 10 MB/sec depending on what port I use. I think I have to conclude its the old switch that's the culprit. Anyone have an idea...

In Sweden of course! Its a fiber connection to the wall outlet and the "cable modem" could be something else. All PCs are tripplechecked for auto negotiate. Have tried to set it to 1000 to no avail. Ill recheck all cables then, but my switches tell me I have a green light for gigabit, and Ive...

Hi I have a problem with my home network not reaching top speed when connected through my daisy chained switches. Here's the problematic layout. Its kind of hard to make a sensible description. Wall outlet 100Mbit - Cable modem - Netgear WNR 3500 Router - 1 PC connected. Lets call it PC1...
