I have a US-24-240W POE switch which powers a bunch of PoE devices I have. I have noticed some odd things lately with it like RDP lag and blocking (like you get MPEG like artifacts when using RDP to another client on the same switch, almost like it went to a very low bitrate mode). I also noticed recently my 1Gbps internet connection runs around 250 to 450 Mbps randomly up and down (if you do a long running multi site speed test you can watch the NIC status on the client system do a saw tooth like pattern but not that consistent)
Last night I plugged my computer right into my internet handoff and it ran exactly at 976Mbps constant, no dips no saw tooth nothing... ran this test multiple times for 5 minutes at a time, perfectly consistent..
Next up I plugged my internet handoff into my microtik router and only put my desktop into a switch port on the router... once again perfect 976Mbps with no issues... ok so internet is fine, router is fine...
Plugged the router into the US-24-240W switch, and the desktop into that and boom all over the place again...
I tried setting all the devices negotiate speed to a fixed 1Gbps and no difference...
any ideas? I also posted to the unifi forums but no response from anyone yet.. I also noticed a couple other people ask similar questions and everyone said it was negotiate set to auto, well that wasn't the case for me.....
