“AFAIK, transfer speed is limited only by the slowest device in the string.............”
that is only if you have a hub instead of a switch.
the modem will connect to the switch at 1000mbs and the switch will connect to the computer at 1000mbs also.
so if you had 2 computers hooked into the switch you would get dhcp for each from the modem/router and the 2 computers could talk to each other at 1000mbs
