Windows 10: 1Gbps router, 2.5Gbps switch, 2 PC's with 2.5Gbps - Will this work?

1Gbps router, 2.5Gbps switch, 2 PC's with 2.5Gbps - Will this work?

The router (ASUS RT-AC87U) connects from switch to internet 1Gbps. The switch will be a 2.5Gbps, and I have 2 PC's witch both has a Realtek 2.5 Gbps RJ45 connection.

As for now I don't have the switch, but I'm thinking of buying one to get a 2.5 connection between the 2 PC's. I know this will not change my inernet connection at all! This is only to get the higher speed between the PC's. But will I get this in the above setting? Or will everything train to slowest speed, 1Gbps?

1 router 2 computers 2 networks glitch

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I understand the inconvenience caused. I will be glad to assist you with this.

When you set up a PC, a HomeGroup is created automatically. If a HomeGroup already exists on your home network, you can join it.

You mentioned that both the computes are in different networks. This could be the reason why you are unable to create the homegroup. Therefore, I would suggest you to first try to add both the PC to a single network and try creating the homegroup again.

Refer the steps given below to add a device or PC to a network and check if it helps.

-Plug the PC into a hub, switch, or router and then turn it on. (If your home has Ethernet wiring and you have a jack in the room where the PC is, you can plug the PC into the Ethernet jack instead.)

To make sure you added the PC, follow these steps:

• 
  Sign in to any PC on the network.
  
• 
  Press Windows key + E to open file explorer and click "network".
  
• 
  Make sure you see icons for the PC you added and for the other PCs and devices that are part of the network.
  

Let us know the result.

 

Cannot use 1Gbps Internet

Hi Stefan Meirosu,

Please try to answer all the questions:

1) Is the router yours or is it managed by your ISP?
2) Do the router's LAN ports support 1Gbps speed?
3) Is the PC connected directly to the router or via a hub / switch?
4) Do you have fiber-optic connectivity?
5) Do you have the possibility to connect another PC to the router?

If the router is managed by the ISP, contact your ISP for this problem and have them confirm that they provide you with a download speed of 1GBps.
If the router is yours, check on the manufacturer's site if the firmware currently in use is up-to-date, eventually update the firmware and make sure that the LAN ports support 1Gbps speed (read the router manual).
