Hi,

I Have a setup as follows:

Currently both the router and switch are 100Mbit, and I would like to upgrade to 1000Mbit. If I just upgrade the switch will it work at gigabit speeds? Or does LAN traffic still go through the router? Both PC's use the routers DHCP server.

Also does Cat6 cable present a noticeable performance boost over cat5e when dealing with gigabit networks?

Thanks
Jack
