Hi Daniel,

Have you tested the connection speed at the ethernet cable that is connecting the switch in the back room to the rest of the network? I would try moving up the chain and seeing what the connection speed is, you'll likely find a significant drop right after one of the components, at which point you'll have a more precise idea of where to start troubleshooting.

-Elijah.
