Moving data on my network killing it

[Andybtsn]

From the diagram you just need to move the NAS so it's on the same switch as the PC. The rest of it should be good enough (even if it isn't ideal).

The NAS I can manage, it's more when the wife is watching Sky Q upstairs and starts rewinding/fast forwarding it causes my PS5 online games to lag.

Not sure the TV where we stream films from the NAS will behave if I move it upstairs.

4 switches? ouch.

This will fix it -

@Bouton Aide following guidance in this thread to stick a switch there so there is a 1gb connection going to the unifi/other devices, otherwise it's 100mb from the routers ports?

It won't cure anything. Functionally it's identical.

Both Sky Q and PS5 online gaming are using the WAN connection. You need more WAN bandwidth (or QOS).

It will, you bypassing the unmanaged switch. It's then 1GB all around.

They are 1GB, unmanaged switches ain't they? The whole network has no QOS at all. Links are been saturated surely.

It's all GB except for WAN traffic at the moment.

But the switches are unmanaged right? my switch has QOS on it and it's managed. and my router has QOS on as well.

 

[bremen1874]

my router has QOS on as well

It doesn't appear to be doing its job.

With the devices shown you aren't going to be saturating the internal network (except for maybe the NAS to PC traffic).

Guys!

I have identified the issue, there was a small switch purely to to extend a cat 5, I have no idea how long its been there but the switch is not a GB one, its a tplink thing you would get for £10 from Argos.
I have removed it and started doing some tests when moving data to the NAS, no lag in games and the network is not getting saturated like before.
It was in the room we call the games room that we are gutting at the moment, I don't think I'd ever have found it unless I started this thread and understood what could cause the bottle necks, so I appreciate the help. No expense needed neither

Thanks all!

I don't see this in your diagram? where was it lol

Yeah it wasn't in there I pulled some units out to get to the cabling and found the offending item.

Critical bonus!
