      Hi everyone,
      Just having a few issues with general network slowdowns whenever my Killing Floor 2 game server is on. I find this weird because I have a 100/40 connection and my router is never over like 5% cpu usage. It slows down the entire network and even LAN traffic (going between different computers on same subnet) is slowed. I have fully gigabit devices so there should be no issue there. What do you guys think the issue could be? If you need more specific setup info I can provide after.
      Thanks!

        if its on lan, then your router is not involved in any way.

        you might have an ip conflict somewhere, a bad switch or ???

          Since it affects performance among devices in the same subnet, it's entirely a local issue, nothing to do with your firewall. Sample the traffic on your LAN and see what's going on. I would grab 15 seconds of traffic.

          How are you measuring LAN to LAN performance? Pings? File transfers? iPerf?
