External Switch lowering Bandwidth

Asked by webprouk in Network Switches & Hubs, Networking Hardware Firewalls

Tags: Switch

We currently have configuration where our firewall plugs into an external swtich along with the router and a couple of VC units.

We have 5 ip numbers on this public router (All used), however if one of the VC devices is switched off then the internet speed reduces from approx 3.5 mb/s to less than 2. It appears that there is a routing problem, however we did not know whether this is typical behaviour, due to bad hardware configuration, or a fault with the switch.

Any input would be grateful.
