For a home router switch: A 100 Mbits port for switching OSI layer 2 ( port 1,2,3,4 on your router or switch) and a 100 Mbits OSI layer 3 (the wan port on the router) are 2 different animal. Routing (wan port) take more ressource and have a lot of decision to make. It's depend of the...

Any 10/100 Mbits switch should do the job. Since gigabits swtich is low also, I would go for that. Take note that the lan support for starcraft 2 as been pull out. It's battle.net only and require an internet connection. Also the website have a series of article how to prepare for that...

Extremely reliable but don't cost a fortune doesn't go together. The problem with mind range switch is that they don't have solid IOS like cisco or juniper (juno os which is bsd below it). HP and Dell are good compromise because they use similar or mostly copy of cisco IOS at lower cost. One of...

Spanning tree protocol is to add another another road if a cable is cut somewhere, so you need to put more cable between them. This is use in business and for critical environnement. You also need to have switch (cicso-like one) that support it. In your case you probably don't need it. Also Link...

Since you have not much computer on each floor, I would probably go for one big 48 switch. That would reduce the cost of having to pay for 10g equipement, even if cost isn't a concern here. Also you will not need to have redurancy link or having to deal for spanning tree. If you do it that...

"Dynex gigabit PCI adapter." You are limited by the PCI bus. The 2 others pc have probably PCIe bus.

Homeplug can go from 1.5 Mbits to 75 Mbits depending of the distance. I would check that first before trying anything else.

Good to see you put picture in your first post. :) To have seperate G and N network is already a good idea. The choking point would be probably the homeplug between routers. I would recommand to put a cable there if possible.

"lag elimited" is uncheck so QOS is desactivated.

I don' think you will see any improvement in a small network. You will obtain those kind of switch in the business model. Cut-through is use mainly on infiniband (supercomputer). Fragment free will not benifit if all the network is switched and there no old hub laying around. That why you...

It's not recommand to use a workgroup with 10 users and above (even with gigabits). That why there is a slowdown in performance since you have takeout the domain. That would probably my first guess.

You can control on your side the DHCP lease time to make it shorter ( mosty for wireless clients). that will force to renew the address more often. "The interesting thing to me is this; if a user has the IP 192.168.1.12, and another device on the company network already has that static...

You will need to connect directly the camera and the computer that will listen on the switch (not the router) at the port you have configured for port minoring.

"Then, the staff member comes into the company offices, connects automatically to our WLAN, and because we use the same subnet (192.168.1.x)" That why compagny use different subnet or network. Use a class A, class B or noit use 0,1,2 in the 192.168.x.x . Also you can probably modify your...

For the panasonic camera, Have you try saving the files and video from different computer instead of the nas ? In my opinion, the NAS get overloaded by the streaming coming from the camera. "2.No change at all. Samba transfer still limited to about 10MB/s. I reckon the video stream is...
