network slowness

[shaikh.zaid22]

hi folks,

 lately am seeing a network slowness in our network during certain period of time during office hours like 8am to 12pm. since employees returning gradually to on-site we observed that whenever there is a Team's meeting/discussion happening our users experience network slowness issue.

I have downloaded a free version of PRTG network monitoring tool just to get some insights and configured accordingly to provide email alerts when traffic reaches threshold etc.

Hence, today all our employees were have a virtual coffee with chairman, they faced the same issue and instantaneously i received an email alert from prtg that Ping was down for 150sec and traffic was crossing 90% mark.

Presently we have a Bandwidth speed of 150Mbps within our org.

Need advice..

What is the question? 

The problem have already been identified as an over-utilized WAN link.

Thanks Leo for the reply..

Wanted to share the experience to understand it better.. that's it

So if we upgrade our WAN link to 200 or above it should be ok ?

Depends if the router can support 200 Mbps or not.
