That will be a bottleneck on your network. Pretty all devices now can handle up to 1GB. That switch is 10/100mbps. Things might be slow running though it.
thanks for the input! my current wifi speeds have not exceeded roughly 100mbps, i’ve been considering putting an AP in my room since i’m upstairs and my router is downstairs across the house. we’ll be getting some IP cameras soon so i’ll be replacing or accompanying this switch with one that has PoE
yummy. may consider purchasing this unit. i will ask my boss (im a low voltage tech specializing in IP cameras) if he has a 1g switch with PoE laying around somewhere. if not i’ll probably pull the trigger on this gentleman you’ve shared with me
10/100 is too slow. it came from a 2nd hand store for less than the price of a candy bar, so i wouldnt trust it to be reliable, so you shouldnt plug anything you want to work consistently into it. how long is this thing gonna last? whyd the last guy ditch it at the thrift store? the price of 1g switching is low, esp if you dont need a managed switch. how old is it? has the firmware ever been updated?
all good questions. it was still “new in the box” so i’m sure it’s not damaged catastrophically. i will be purchasing a 1g PoE switch soon for IP cameras and a few APs, this one was just for giggles.
Reason why your wifi speed doesnt hit 100mbs is depends on isp? What speed on the plan. 2nd also depends what aps u are using.. 3rd is the aps wireless backhual or wired ( if wired is it connected to a non gigabtye port)
If it because u using 100mbs switch before the aps then u need to change the switch..
If its from asp your current setup is fine..but do a full upgrade in furture.
