Much performance hit going through two switches?
OK, would appreciate quick responses as I'm actually in the middle of making a big mess and a lot of hard work in putting another cable through the house.
Heres the setup.
Basement - Modem router
Me and my brother - two levels up.
We've got a cable running up from the basement through the sitting room and to my brothers room (via my room)
I'm in the middle of taking all the books of the massive solid wood bookshelf when the hard work made me think, I could just attach the cable thats already there to a switch in my room and then have that going to me and my brother. But would that hit the performance much? Would it actually improve performance in file transfer between me and my brother?
Just wanted to check before I spend the whole night lugging bookshelves around. :)
