Yeah his isp is only 10.. so a 10/100 switch is fine..

 

But here is the thing.. adding a switch doesn't do what he is saying unless the switch is bad.. spewing out crap on the wire.. Which it could be.. So he changes the switch.. Again nothing else plugged into this switch.. The rest of your network is OFF??  Its just the switch connected to his router/modem.. And bad..  Disconnect and good..  Put in different switch and bad again..

 

So either he has 2 bad switches, or bad cable sure.. Or bad modem..

 

I didn't look at the wires before I was just after the make and model numbers.. Yeah those cables are complete and utter crap!!!

You have to be kidding me!!!  No offense dude but that is CRAP!!! Get on amazon or something and order yourself some new cables.  I would get a new decent gig switch as well and have your isp give you a new modem/router as well..

 

How long are you cables.. Standard length cables your talking a couple of bucks for a decent cable.. Even long cables can be had really cheap these days.. There is no reason to use such crap...

Agreed, I was not using the word cheap in the context of poorly made.. I was using it in the context of how inexpensive even cat 6 cables are these days ;)

 

That cable looks like someones first attempt and doing their own cables, while drunk ;)  With caps they got out of the garbage bin..

Well the funny thing is that the "cheap crap" is the one connected to my PC, that has no problems whatsoever when I'm connected alone to the modem.

The best looking one is the yellow one, which is the one causing troubles (switch -> modem).

This modem is brand new, I have this lag problem for ages now and they changed modems a couple times now, it never resolves.

I have tried with all different cable options possible, it didn't work.

I will try to get a third switch, but like I said, the crappy one (1008D) worked fine where I borrowed it.

A dumb switch that is not broken puts no packets on the wire.. I could have no effect on traffic on any of your other ports or internet.

 

So either you have something going on with the autoneg of your ports on your modem and switch to what speed and duplex they should run which is causing havoc.. This could be port on modem, cable or switch causing an issue.  Or it could just be incompatible between your modem brand and your switch brand.

 

Or you have some other device be it wired or wireless using up your bandwidth causing you latency because your pipe is just freaking full, and you have chased a red herring to think its your switch..

 

For gig to negotiate you need to have good cables.. But your modem is only 10/100 as well.  You could also have just a compatibility issue with ports on your modem/router trying to work out speed of 10/100 and what duplex with your 1008D etc..  If your modem is brand new.. Then get a brand new switch or atleast a newer switch and good cable!  Not that crap your pc is using.. And plug the switch in to your modem does it cause you latency issue?  Since your modem/router that td-w9970 only has 10/100 ports there is little reason to connect a gig switch to it to be honest.  Unless you have gig devices connected to that switch and will be talking gig to each other..

 

BTW I wouldn't call that tp-link wd9970 by any means new.. its a V1.. not a V2... What firmware are you running on it.. Have you updated it to the current which I show came out Nov 2016.. TD-W9970(EU)_V1_161111, oh but looks like you have UN model.. so that firmware came out in Aug 2015.. Yeah brand new ;)  TD-W9970_V1_150831

    • Elon Musk's robotaxi will have a human driver for 'safety' reasons by David Uzondu Image via Depositphotos.com A few days ago, we reported that Tesla was gearing up for its robotaxi launch, set to kick off in Austin, Texas, and now the details of the service are trickling out. Electrek says that some popular pro-Tesla influencers on X have gotten invitations to the launch. These invitations came with a list of rules, and the most glaring one was the presence of what Tesla called a "Safety Monitor" in the front passenger seat. This is basically a human supervising driver whose entire job is to watch the car and make sure it does not drive itself into a ditch. This might feel a little strange, especially given Musk's claims of "no driver" testing in the past. The safety monitor is one of the employees with access to buttons that can stop the car, much like the ones available to Waymo passengers in their fully autonomous rides. The service will operate within a geofenced area from 6 AM to 12 AM and will not run during bad weather. Other requirements include a credit card on file and an agreement that you will not be a jerk. Participants must also agree to a bunch of other rules, and one of the most interesting ones is that their access can be terminated if they share content on social media that shows the vehicle being misused. On top of that, they're not allowed to reverse engineer the technology in any way. At least the passenger gets a bit of a break. So, unlike the Tesla Full-Self Driving Beta, which requires the owner's constant attention, the supervising driver is expected to pay attention. At the same time, you, the passenger, can relax and enjoy the ride. According to Electrek's Fred Lambert, the robotaxi launch seems like an optics thing, designed to let Elon Musk say he met his June deadline for launching a robotaxi network.
    • I don't get why you care how thin your phone is. Most people slap a giant case on it anyway, so it doesn't mean much in the long run.
    • Yay it finally made it to openSUSE Tumbleweed. Installed on the rest of my PCs/laptops and also working just fine. Was also available before for KDE Neon and Fedora. And I hear Arch also already has it.
