I have a 10/100 Verizon router. 3 computers are connected to this via Ethernet. I'd like to put a gigabit switch between the computers and router to enable gigabit speeds on the intranet.
If the machines are still using the 10/100 router as a gateway will this stunt the intranet speed? Or will they actually communicate with each other at gigabit speeds?
Will using a 10/100 router stunt gigabit switch speeds for an internal network?
Will inserting a 1" pipe between a couple of 2" pipes cause a bottleneck for the bigger pipes? Would shrinking a two-lane road to one lane then back out to two lanes affect the wider sections? Does a bear sleep in the woods? Is the sky blue?
