Replace the switch upstairs with a Ubiquiti AirCube AC, they cost around £60 and give you 4 port gigabit switch and wireless AC access point all in one.

They look rather nifty.

That sounds great, although I just put the £12 gigabit switch in and gained 23Mbps lol didnt even realise I was missing out thought we only had 50mb that was upgraded to 70mb

I may get one of those in the near future, now to see if gigabit switch helps at all.

Edit** Real world, went from 9.5-10MB download to 13MB lol not bad for £12!
PS - dont tell me off if MB is not the right one you know what I mean.

Thanks all,
Sean

Yeah gigabit switches are always worth the extra few quid, even if your devices are only 100Mb.

With a 100Mb switch, If you're maxing the tv's 100mb port then you are also maxing the 100Mb uplink.

With a gigabit switch, when maxing the tv's port you still have 900Mb free on the uplink for other devices like Xbox.
