DSS5+ Switch Performance

Odd thing with my home network

I have a WTR54GS V1.0 with all the wired ports in use. I added a D-Link DSS5+ to get a couple extra ports and I cannot understand why downloads on the PC connected to the DSS5 are much faster than when plugged straight into the GS ? even web pages pop up instantaniously now. ISP is via Cable modem

Is there a technical reason why performance would be better going through a switch that is connected to the same port in the GS vs a PC plugged strait into that port ?

As you found out the DSS5+ is an awesome little switch. Actually all of the D-link products have the same technology.

It is called N-Way (Protocol of communication where it does not care which way it is wired as long as there is a receive and transmit pair).

The added bonus is it seems to cause less packet fragmentation which results in higher throughput. I'm not sure if that is what they intended but it is awesome.
