    Ethernet switch wreaking havoc on my network

    I'm going a bit crazy trying to solve this one, so maybe the MacRumors family can point me in the right direction... Something is fishy with my network. I've recently added a 5-port unmanaged ethernet switch (TP-Link TL-SG105) to my network. When the switch is connected to my Verizon FiOS G1100...

    Bottlenecks & unpacking the limits of 10/100 Ethernet on iBook G3 clamshell

    To be blunt, I’ve been torn between posting this on the Server/Networking sub-forum or over here, but as it focusses mostly on legacy equipment and Ethernet protocols, the balance seems tipped to favour here. [Mods: you’re welcome to move this over to the other sub-forum if this more...

    MacBook, Dongle-dom & "Single port life"

    How is life with only 1 port? What are the restrictions with non-Thunderbolt 3 compatibility? I am presuming today there aren't many devices though this may change. Is the 5Gbps upper limit an issue, or is this just for "pro" use, i.e. multi-5k screens, plus TB3-native SSDs or eGPUs? Is there...

    Boost ethernet speed MacBook Pro 8,1

    This may seem like a stupid question, but is there any way to boost the speed of my ethernet port (my router is 1gb/s), but using GeForce NOW and streaming to twitch at the same time causes for significant packet loss in the game. Is there any way I can fix it? (Hardware, software, etc)?
