I currently have a managed network switch that connects to one port on my Smart Hub Plus.
This switch has about 12 ports connected.
Does it make any difference to performance or connections if i spread those connections out to the other 3 ports on the hub?
i.e. if i have 3 or 4 switches connected to each port, each switch had multiple connections, but there was less connected to one, if that makes sense.
Just curious....

@Trick97 You need to consult your managed switch information, the hub has no lan management in any format that you can do or change.

@Trick97 I doubt you would notice much difference, you might see a little if the traffic was staying local to your LAN, but typically it is the WAN port and firewall that limits traffic .
