I'm wondering how to go about seeing what is bogging down the internet at times. I was trying to use Wireshark but after spending a couple hours or so with it I still don't get it and maybe it's not what I want.
This is a small business and right now there are close to 20 computers on it. 3 Macs, rest windows 7 and 1 windows 8 computer. Also a few netbooks.
Hardware for the network is:
SMCd3g-ccr gateway from Comcast
8 port Trendnet switch (gigabit)
16 port Netgear switch (10/100)
D-link DWL-8600AP dualband access point
There's also a Synology NAS 10TB setup for all the network files.
At least half of the computers are wired to those switches which then go to the gateway. The rest connect to the D-link AP.
So how do I go about seeing what's going wrong to improve speeds? or tell if it's just Comcast's fault when it does slow down?
