Link do Vídeo
nice video but you didn't mention what router are you using???
2:36 you're doing 280 megaBYTES per second, not megabits.
Do you have a more recent video which goes through the entire setup. So for example I am looking for a 2.5gbe router that can then connect to the switch you recommended.
super thank you!!!!
Does the router need to be 2.5 or does not matter on lan?
great video… let's me know what's possible
But what to do if your router 1gb?
How do I get my 2.5g to work on all of my 3 devices, modem 2.5g, router 2.5g and network switch 2.5g? There's only one 2.5g port on the modem and router.
Do you have a 2.5gb router?
I know this posting is old but I never saw any mention of what Modem and Router you use in this video. Can you share that information.
2:33 to 2:40 that's megaBYTES..not megabits lol
huh i never considered using a usb > 2.5gb dongle. And that qnap is cheaper than the 300 dollar switch I put in my wishlist! This video just saved me money lol
Great content! What cable modem, (Docsis 3.1) is recommended for +1.0gb ISP service?
Complete side note, what corner shelf is that? Lol
nice! what storage did you use in the NAS? HDD, SSD?
Still waiting for the test in RPi4 model B
10 years ago people said gigabit is plenty for wired connections in the home.
If you were wiring your home today would you still go cat6 for the home. Or jump to 2.5gigabit. Wireless connections have caught up.
thank you so much! this is exactly the video i needed to see :))
You are not getting the whole 2.5 Gbit because of layer 2, 3, 4 headers. It consumes some bandwith to contain the adress of the packets/segments/frames.
So how does this 2.5GB switch work: 1) ISP 1GB service to 2)1GB WAN/LAN router to 3) 2.5GB switch (which increases 1GB ISP service to 2.5GB?) to 4) 2.5GB USB adapter to 5) Type C or A port on desktop/laptop? Or does the switch provide extra 2.5GB ports beyond the 2.5GB or higher router LAN ports? Sorry, I'm IT-rookie confused what purpose the 2.5GB switch serves?
USB?? Maybe for the people without enough experience to open a PC or for a laptop yes, Recommending USB dongles for Gigabit speeds is a no no……
I was considering buying this to add to my existing Asus 10GbE switch, the only BIG problem is that all of the connection ports are on the from of the device and not on the rear…..WTF was QNAP thinking?
What about stability of this switch? Have you noticed any hangups during tests?
Do I need to upgrade router too?
you can run 10GB on your CAT5e as well in perfect conditions.
But: not to forget the heavy power consumption of 10GB ports. 24/7 it will cost you ~30 bucks per year per port (at least in european countries with high costs and "greener current")!
2,5GB is much lower in power consumption, so let`s see if and when the 10GB Standard will come. Still, it`s an environment-dirtbag.
Can I run cat6 Poe 190feet (for camera at beginning of driveway?)
Does anyone know whether the USB dongle works in FreeBSD 11 and 12? (also FreeNAS)
Screenshot @ 3:08 shows the message being repeated multiple times per second. Has anyone been able to get Realtek's attention as to why cdc_ncm driver is repeatedly posting the link status?
this is good content mostly but the mkt needs more players to be competitive – mostly accurate
I like your shit…
Windows File copy is crappy, next time test with something like robocopy or rsync.
I stream a cloud PC to my Pi4. Would this setup work on a Pi4 for low latency? (Assuming plugged into USB3)
Are there downsides to using usb adapters, like cpu usage or driver stability?
You neglected to mention how difficult it is for the average person to source one of these QNAP 2.5GbE switches in USA/Canada. I’ve been looking to buy for weeks,……..weeks I say.
Always since it first started in your case why Ethernet 2.5GB did not test to 2.5GB. It is the overhead of each and every packet.
