</div><div><br></div><div>A hub will broadcast packets to all its ports, and if more than one connection is made through it simultaneously then collisions will cause it to saturate at well below its headline speed (like 20mBit). A switch directs packets only to the port which responds to them, so full bandwidth communications can take place between multiple computers.

But for testing I took the switch out of the F/E room and put it in place of the hub. It had absolutely no effect on the problem whatsoever. Granted I didn't do major testing. I connected everything up and tested LiveTV on the F/E, which is the spot where this issue is most evident. As soon as I saw and heard the video and audio breakups and dropouts I put everything back to the way it was.
