Bad packets and some slowdowns, related ?

[DouglasteR]

Hi there, one more time i humble request some help

I just finish my home network, its a 3 story house, so theres one switch per floor, connecting to the main switch in my room. Literally everything is connected.

In my living room i also setup a media player, and sometimes it lag so much that i cant watch anything without severe stuttering, interesting enough, today it played just FINE

After that i start hunting for defects or other network problems that might be related, i tested each port with a middle level tester (everything ok) and noticed a lot of bad packets coming from one of the other floors (the same floor that the media player is) in the main switch.

The odd thing is that even today (when i watch a movie) there was badpackets in the interface.

Could this be culprit ?

Also, how can i know how much is "too much" of broadcast packets ? ( i have some ip cameras)

Thanks for the help

What's telling you the packets are "bad"?
