Gigabit switch to 10/100 router
Posted by MSmith on February 21st, 2004


I just got a Dell PowerConnect 2608 Gigabit ethernet switch to connect one
network segment to my LinkSys BEFSR81 router. I have two PCs on the Gigabit
segment but the LinkSys built-in switch is limited to 10/100. When the
two PCs on the network segment communicate between each other, will I get
full gigabit, or will the router limit the speed? If so, does anybody know
how to solve this problem?

Thanks for any help.

switch (and assuming they have Gigabit NICs) they should go full speed
