Hi All,
please forgive me if this qualifies as a total newb question - which it most likely does.
I ordered a NETGEAR GS105UK GIGABIT 5Port Switch [LN22356] from scan to replace my aging 3com that was starting to fall over after 13 years of use!!!
I use this to connect my PC and Xbox plus laptop to the network socket in my office wall that is in-turn connected to Virgins super hub2 - on 120mb fibre optic cable connection.
However - if i connect my PC direct to the wall and super hub i get a full 120mb on speedtests; but when using the switch [no other devices connected to the switch or superhub2] I only get 88mb connection.
Is this normal?
Is there anyway to get full speed back and use the switch.
Thanks for your time.
PZ
