Work at a small office with 16 desktop clients and 4 servers, we're finding a lot of issues with using Webex and Skype of late so the boss has asked me to think about trying to improve performance. We've got a decent Internet connection (10Mbps) but use a lot of cloud services, remote desktop and Voip. Webex, in particular struggles sometimes. I'm thinking there are two bottlenecks, our old TP-Link ADSL gateway which is providing wireless, DHCP/DNS to all clients (even though we using Fibre now instead for Internet), and the HP 1410-16G switch. I'm on the lookout now for a decent 24 or 32 port switch thats managed and will help us with our Voip experience hopefully through better QOS. Also might see can we design three Vlans of sorts to segregate traffic. Plus give us additional ports for new staff and let others get off wireless. So wondering what peoples experiences and recommendations for a new switch would be? and am I right to think its the switch or the old tp-link router that might be our bottlenecks here?
