Since the switch itself is un-managed, it will act as a hub. What this does is take the full available bandwidth at the WAN side, and divide the data flow by how many different devices are requesting data. The JGS524 should work as a gigabit device to expand your network without having to get down a dirty with networking. Say you had two machines, each machine has gigbit capabilities, and are of equal quality (performance wise), each machine is trying to draw a one gigbyte file, the available bandwidth (depends on your specific ISP package as well it it's quality); then the full available amount of data would be theoretically split between the two machines, and the downloads would theoretically finish at the same time, give or take. Again, theoretically, each machine would have a path open to the tune of 100Mbps at full throttle, in a perfect world. With good wiring and a solid ISP drop (wire from the port outside) and a late model computer, I would be satisfied with an average of 180Mbps, and peaking to 210Mbps on seldom occasions.

When you're logged in, do these unexpected test results have a yellow background such as the following example on the first two rows? If you do see results highlighted in yellow similar to the above, what this probably means is that your internet connection goes through a shared IP address, such as a carrier grade NAT. One good example of this is cellular mobile data connections where all the devices on the network connect through a small handful of IP addresses. Even my fixed wireless ISP connection has a shared IP and I often see other user's results appear on the Results page highlighted in yellow.
