Inconsistent Network Speeds over Ethernet
Hi,
I'm having intermittent network issues that I am having no success in troubleshooting myself.
I am using a mixture of TP Link Gigabit Switched and Deco M9 Plus in my network.
The PC and Laptop and Unraid Server will suddenly drop from a Gigabit connection to 100Mbps, sometimes even lower. Resetting the 8 port switch (i.e. disconnecting and reconnecting the power) fixes the issue immediately, but the problem will seemingly return at a random time.
I've checked all my socket terminations, all of the wiring (seemingly no degradation), I've updated the firmware on all of the Deco M9 Plus v2s (using the updater tool).
All of my switches are unmanaged. I have ordered some managed ones, to see if that can help further troubleshoot the issue.
Can this be an issue with the switch? Is there anything wrong in my network layout? I know you're not supposed to daisy chain more than 3 switches, but can you get issues with just 3?
Would appreciate any help as this is driving me nuts.
Regards,
Jamie
