I have a small network that accomodates Vista & XP machines. I'm using an 8
port Netgear gigabit switch between the machines (which all have gigabit
NICs) and a Linksys BEFSR41 router for internet access and firewall
protection. I just replaced the Linksys router, so it is a recent revision
(I haven't upgraded the firmware on it yet). Connecting the machines, switch
and router is CAT5 cable.
Question:
Are the CAT 5 cables introducing a bottleneck into the network? Are there
any settings for the router that could be changed to produce higher speeds
over the network and internet? I'm on a cable connection.
Thanks!
