Hi all
I have a router with 4 wired ports
Then I have two sixteen port switches connected
From there my house it hardwired like a mad man.
My question: Should I plug 2 ports from the router to each switch, will that free up a bottle neck?
the way I have it now there are 2 unused ports on the router. Seems a waste.
And I got like 10 things on each switch with only 1 Ethernet going to the router, isn’t that a terrible bottle neck ?
Thx
It’s actually a physical trace inside. The 4 ports you see will typically be on a 5 or 6 port switch. 1 port will go to the cpu, another is for a second phy for the cpu and is typically the wan port.
