LS1008G dropping significant speed
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
I am currently using a LS1008G which has a 40m Ethernet straight from my Virgin Hub 3, which is only giving me speeds of 76Mbps on 2 connected devices. When the Ethernet cable is used directly into a PC i get 420+Mbps.
I have tried different cables from the switch to the PC and Laptop but the speed doesnt improve.
Any ideas why the switch is causing this speed drop?

@Kelvmw Strangely, or not, i have changed one of the Cat6 Flat cables for an old 5E which i found and the speed has now bumped up to 380Mbps - Maybe i have a bad batch of flat Cat6 cables - Cant see any other reason for the issue.

@Kelvmw To add - I have tried to look at/change the Speed Duplex but cant find the switch IP, the one listed under IPv4 Address returns an unable to connect message on the web browser

The switch is un-managed and therefore wont have an IP address or web interface
Its literally, plug and play

You would need to detect where the slowness is on the connection.
When you plug in the PC to the Switch, check the status on the network connection and see what speed this is connected at, ideally it should be 1000. If its 10 or 100 then change cable using a Cat5e or Cat6
Should the PC be connected to the switch at 1000, then likely its the connection from the switch to the Virgin Hub. Log into the hub via its web interface and check what speed the port is connected at from there.
Its unlikely to be the switch, more than likely one of the two connections.

@Kelvmw Having checked this, each Ethernet device is showing as being connected at 1000 - The connections between the switch and PC/Laptops are 2M Flat Cat6 cables.
