Network switch drops download speed by 90%
When I connect a system directly to Cat cable, I get 350 Mbps download. But when I use a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet switch, download speed drops to about 35 Mbps. I use switch since two systems have to share one cat cable.
I have tried an old Netgear Ethernet FS105 switch and a relatively new Tenda 10/100 desktop switch. Both used to proved fast internet download speeds on two systems simultaneously. Within last two weeks, the switch causes a huge loss of download speed in Win 10 (Pro and Home, ver. 21H2.)
Are there Win 10 settings that may have inadvertently changed? (There are no hardware issues like cable or switch.)
Thanks in advance to the experts.
