So I decided to upgrade my existing 4 10/100 port switch with this 8 10/100/1000 port switch because all my computers have onboard Gigabit adapters.

I picked up some Cat5e cable just in case and I made my way home. I plugged everything up and ran a few tests.

I must say I'm a bit disappointed. My average thorougput was 30%. That's about 300Mbps. I know that it's better than what I used to have but I was hoping for at least 60%. All the NIC settings are set to Auto.

Anyone have any ideas? All the cards are being seen a 1Gbps cards. And I also updated all the drivers to the latest and greatest.
