I need a consultant
Budget: $25 – $50 USD
I am trying to create an optimized home network and am looking for the best advice as for how to accomplish that.
My ISP: Comcast Xfinity 1200Mbps subscription
My current gear:
Netgear Nighthawk CAX80 DOCSIS3.1 Wireless Combo (Multigig 2.5 + Aggregate options)
Netgear Nighthawk SX10 (GS810EMX) smart switch (also has aggregate or multigig)
Netgear Nighthawk EAX80 "Mesh" Extender
Netgear Nighthawk R6080 Router (setup in Access Point mode)
My configuration is using the Multigig port out of the CAX80 using a Cat6 cable into the Multigig input of the SX10 switch.
The switch out then outputs to my major media devices. (gaming PC, Nvidia Shield, as well as some smarthome devices like Hue Bridge, and now recently added the access point.
Currently the EAX80 extender is unplugged because it was acting buggy.
I know I am doing some things not quite right because the access point is only receiving d/l speeds of 60Mbps and u/l speeds of 20Mbps. I have the switch managed on the port for maximum throughput and still nothing.
Are there any suggestions to help optimize my system to help maximum my traffic ports?
Am I expecting too much of my equipment, should I sell it and upgrade?
