Hi all

I have a router with 4 wired ports

Then I have two sixteen port switches connected

From there my house it hardwired like a mad man.

My question: Should I plug 2 ports from the router to each switch, will that free up a bottle neck?

the way I have it now there are 2 unused ports on the router. Seems a waste.

And I got like 10 things on each switch with only 1 Ethernet going to the router, isn’t that a terrible bottle neck ?

Thx

    TP-Link makes a 5 port gigabit unmanaged switch for less than $20USD. It’s great. You can get it with PoE for $50.
