Home network drops using IP KVM extenders?

Issue: Home network drops using IP KVM extenders

Customer A: Why my home network speed drops significantly after the KVM extender connected to the Ethernet switch?
Product model: 4KIP100-KVM

Tips to solve this problem

1. Pick your network switch

In order to ensure smooth end-to-end data transmission, a gigabit bandwidth or above is a must. Sometimes even though a network switch is advertised as a gigabit switch, it might be short of that in real runs. So, pick your network switch.

2. Separate your home network from the KVM’s LAN.

We recommend you separate the LAN for IP KVM connection from your home network. The data transmission among IP KVM extenders will take up your bandwidth and very likely bring down the network speed. Sometimes may cause the source video to flicker.
