Company network slowdown
Question about typical company network. We are looking at going gigabit mainly because of a perceived network slowdown in the past 6 months or so. But... some of use are not sure that the 100 Mb T1 current network is really the fault. Question is: We have some really speedy computers on the network and some not so speedy. Can slow clock speed computers drag down the entire network? We have B / G Wi-Fi on both sides of the firewall. Can they drag down overall speed of the network? We have hubs / switches that feed other hubs / switches. How bad a practice is that? There are about 50 wired drops around the building and around 8 wi-fi hot spots. Previous IT guy set the wi-fi up with all different SSIDs. We don't care about lap top roaming so maybe that's not a big deal. Or not? Any suggestions?
