Hi all,
Got a 5-port Netgear switch in my room which I was using to split the Ethernet cable coming through my wall so I could plug in both my PC and 360. Having recently sold my 360, I decided to remove the switch for the time being. However, when I do that and plug the Ethernet cable from the wall straight into the PC, my internet becomes really slow! I don't understand it, surely if anything it should be quicker (not noticeably obviously)!?
The cable coming through the wall runs up through the roof and down into the ZyXEL Prestige 660-H in the lounge.
I've tried rebooting the router, the PC, repairing the LAN connection etc. Nothing seems to make any difference. Can anyone shed any light on this, it's really annoying!
