How are the lights blinking on the Dell 2724 ?
(if it's a storm or a huge requesting of network resource, some should
blink very fast).

Now, there is other thing that storm in the network to cause a slowdown:
trying to reach/find inaccessible resource and awaiting time-out before
resorting to another solution. In such case the network is rather calm.
(and the light blinks slowly)


In theory Cat5 cable are not suitable for 1G. (cat5e is ok, but not
strict 5)

Have you tested "unloaded network" ? (Keep the WDS & fileserver, as well
as the switch, 1 user only (all other users are disconnected from the
switch). Does it work better ? or same ? or worse ?

Adding 1 user at a time ?
Putting back the Internet connection ?
