Understandable that you'd think that, but it is indeed wrong
Wow, I am much clearer now thanks so much to you guys for the explanation. I am now feeling a bit bad about cheaping-out on my switches, I guess I have always just seen them as "extra holes" to plug into and that the router did all the work but now I know they do "stuff" I kinda wished I had gone for quality not cheapness, lol.
I can really recommend running an iperf3 (https://iperf.fr/iperf-download.php) server or two on your network.
I am going to give this a go, definitely, but it will be after I get back from work as I will be away for 4 weeks from Monday.
I am embarrassed at my own ignorance and am going to try and improve my knowledge of how networks, er ..... work
I saw an 'o7' salute back there ... are you an Elite: Dangerous player by any chance?
I do have a copy, in fact I bought the game before it was released, and I think I would like it because I am old enough to have been obsessed with the original - I even went out and bought a HOTAS joystick to play it with but haven't got round to it yet.
In fact I am an
Eve Online player, have been playing since 2007, a game which has consumed vast numbers of hours of my life. Its also a spaceship game, but from what I have seen, more strategic and with a lot more "metagaming". Its pretty much all I have played for the last 9 years, I occasionally flirt with FPS games, however, currently playing SWBF which is great fun and just bought BF1.
Its a great time to try Eve, actually, CCP has just released a patch allowing "Alpha state" clones to play for free - the learning curve is extreme but don't let it put you off - if anyone wants to give it a try then let me know.
We should have a "what games do you play" thread (unless there is one already)
