Download speed degrades unless I reboot switch

Post by rb9999 »

I have SABNZBD running on my Synology DS220+ in a Docker Container along with Radarr, Sonarr etc.

I have a fast internet connection and the NAS is hardwired to a switch that is hardwired to my router. At top speed I get about 45 MBps on download speed from my Newsgroup provider. Lately, I have been getting 11 MBps. If I reboot my switch, it goes back to 45 and very soon after it goes back to 11.

Some background. I had a different switch some time ago and this happened and I blamed it on my switch. It was a TPLINK switch. So since, I have gotten another switch, its a Netgear GS108Ev3 Smart Managed Switch. I have been using it for several months and have gotten steady 45 MBps download speed consistently...until about a week ago. It went back to 11 MBPs and stayed steady. Rebooting the switch increased it back to 45 only to go back to 11 soon thereafter. I tried rebooting my wifi network (Google Wifi) and that doesn't fix it.

I am thinking something upstream is doing this, but I don't know what, nor how to keep it from happening.

Any suggestions or tests or settings I can do to try to fix this? The switch is a managed switch which I don't really have any experience with so I don't know what to tweak in there...I know it just works.

Thanks.

If you're connected wired, how could rebooting wifi network have influence?

Anyway: if you think it's your switch ... rule it out by connecting your NAS (and PC) directly to your router, and try again

Actually, the wifi network is a set of 3 Google wifi stations s connected via wire, a backhaul network. The router is one of these Google wifi devices, so technically it is a wifi network and it is also my router and hardwired network. So I guess I should have just said I rebooted my router (there is no modem as I have straight Ethernet into the house).

That is a good suggestion. My router is in my garage connected to a switch which distributes it to the house wiring. I'll figure out a way to do that.
