December 15, 20223 yr This is my first post so go easy on me. I recently started noticing my server becoming slow so I ran a internet speed test and it turns out my speed is around 10Mbit/s no matter what I do. My internet speed is 350/50 Mbit/s and I can easily get around 270 even on WIFI (the server uses ethernet). This effects everything from downloading updates, torrents to streaming on Plex as well as transferring files to the server. I ran the speed test with iperf and inside the browser on Unraid. Let me know if there is any more info I can provide as I have no idea how to proceed. Thanks for your help. klay-diagnostics-20221215-2303.zip

I would start by making sure the CAT-5 cable is firmly seated on both ends. Next step would be to try a new cable. Then reboot the switch. Then switch to another port. (These two could be done in either order) Make sure that the MTU on the switch is set to 1500.
