you would need to do the math calculations shown above with the switch specifications

PERFORMANCE
Switching Capacity   160 Gbps
Packet Forwarding Rate   119.04 Mpps
MAC Address Table   32 K
Packet Buffer Memory   16 Mbit
Jumbo Frame   9 KB

I understand that, my question was more around price, that's £220 which seems expensive, and I didn't know if you can get 1gig switches with higher packet forwarding rates. Not all manufacturers have the packet forwarding info available or easily visible so it's proving difficult to find one. Packet forwarding rate of 119Mbps will suit my needs, I guess I'm asking do I need to pay £220 to get it or are there cheaper alternatives?

Thanks for the detailed response. If if reading it correctly then I need a switch that can handle a higher throughput, correct??

If you want full end-to-end gig throughput, yes.

Something like this, or is this overkill? I'm having trouble finding a 1gig switch with a high enough packet forward rate:

Documentation says:
"The auto features of this gigabit switch make installation plug and play and hassle-free. No configuring is required. Auto MDI/MDIX eliminate the need for crossover cables. Auto-negotiation on each port senses the link speed of a network device (either 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps) and intelligently adjusts for compatibility and optimal performance. Moreover, fanless design ensures quiet operation." It's a TP Link TL-SG116

Hi all, I'm a networking novice to be gentle!

I'm getting slow wired speeds and I've narrowed the problem down to my switch. I currently have a Sky router connected to an Eero (mesh) gateway (in bridge mode), and then the Eero connected to a switch. I've narrowed down the problem to my TP Link switch by connecting my laptop directly to the Sky router and am getting 1gig speeds, I then connected directly to the Eero Gateway and got 1gig speeds, but when I plugged back into the switch they drop to around 350MB/s. I thought there might be a problem with the cable connecting the Eero to the switch so swapped it out but it made no difference, and finally I tried connecting the switch directly to the Sky router and am still getting around 350MB/s so it would be appear to the the switch throttling somehow. It's a gigabit switch.

Does anyone have any idea how I can solve this?
