    Hi

    If I run a cable directly from my router to computer I get 140mbs consistently.

    I have a TP-LINK TL-SG1024D Network Switch and cat 6 cable throughout the house.

    If I run my computer from wall outlet which is connected to the switch I'm only getting around 80mbs consistently.

    Why such a drop in speed through the switch?

    Are you talking about Internet speeds? Check the cable connecting from router to switch.


    Have a look here and troubleshoot
