The Wifi at my girlfriends house is horrendously bad, whoever installed this abomination didn’t do a great job. As I have “”“some”“” experience regarding networking I’m planning on completely overhauling her Wifi. I might think this switch is the problem. Can anyone help me identifying whatever I’m seeing here?
That is probably the oldest switch I’ve ever seen still in operation, really cool find.
Anyhow that guy doesn’t have anything to do with wifi per se, but it has relatively slow interfaces (Fast Ethernet!), so you could be saturating a port or something. Switches are cheap and easy to replace, might be worth it just to for the fun of the project.
More than likely though, the wireless router is jammed in the rack and should just be moved so it can breathe a little and propagate signal a bit better.
Go buy a decent gigabit dumb switch and donate that shit to a museum.
Last time I saw one of these………10ish years ago and even then it looked old, it was called a 3Com if I’m not mistaken. That thing is ancient. The way DiGiTaL is spelled like it’s something new and innovative should tell you all you need to know lol
