  • LAN slows down when WAN in use

    Hi guys,

    Whenever the WAN interface is in use (250 down, 20 up) the LAN side of things becomes extremely slow, for instance, when downloading an update (Steam game) and if my wife is watching TV series in the lounge (via kodi with network share to the ClearOS server) kodi needs to keep caching the video playback, every 10 seconds. Any file transfers from ClearOS to a workstation on the network, also, grinds to a halt. (One workstation tested on 100mb switch, another workstation was tested on 1000mb switches)

    Could it be my network hardware or is this normal?

    Here is the server hardware info, its an HP MicroServer Gen8 with upgraded CPU & Memory:
