Hi all,

I have a problem with fluctuating /slow speeds over ethernet using a Superhub2.

My setup:
Big Kahuna 152mbit
4 PC's connected directly to SHub via ethernet cables (each has a port)
Wireless - phones, tablet, PS4 connected

The problem:
In speedtests, 2 of the computers hit 160mbit no problem and consistently. The other 2 are fluctuating. The computer i am typing this on was consistently 160mbit since we upgraded. Over the last 2 weeks we now get 8mbit. The other 'slow' machine was running max 8mbit - Then for no apparent reason went back up to 160, but has now dropped to 20mbit

After many many hours of searching, driver installs, nic card purchase/ installs, cable changes even win7 reinstall on one machine, i am left with one conclusion - The Shub is struggling to keep up or is faulty. I have tried going back to factory settings which made no difference.

Could the Shub be limiting bandwidth? There are no 'super users' here and it happens even when the 'fast' machines are unplugged. Malware etc - we keep a strict regime.

Any help appreciated as i've hit a brick wall and have little hair left!
