About this deal

That's not cheap, but neither was my AX-11000 a year and half ago. Maybe I could sell my current AX11000 for the AX6000 which sounds/seems like a downgrade honestly, but it's not in this use case scenario anyway.

Modem: (Motorola) ARRIS Surfboard S33 DOCSIS 3.1 Multi-Gigabit Cable Modem with 2.5 Gbps Ethernet Port faster speeds refer to the speeds compared to standard 1G ports. The actual speeds may vary due to cable quality and type, client limitations, and environmental factors. Despite its growing popularity among hardware manufacturers, 2.5G technology is often overlooked. This is unfortunate, as it is becoming more common in computers and motherboards and is a cost-effective way to upgrade to multi-gigabit speeds. For example, 2.5G cards and dongles are reasonably priced, and 2.5Gbps speeds can be achieved with existing Cat5e cabling. TRENDnet has released an affordable unmanaged 2.5G switch, called the TEG-S380, which is an 8-port Unmanaged 2.5G Switch and part of the brand’s Multi-Gigabit Networking Solutions family.TRENDnet’s Unmanaged 2.5G PoE+ Switches are a great solution to expand network bandwidth and alleviate traffic congestion. These switches are equipped with 2.5GBASE-T RJ-45 ports, which provide faster gigabit speeds of up to 2.5Gbps over existing Cat5e or better cabling. The switches come with durable metal enclosures and can be mounted on the wall for easy installation. The fanless design ensures low energy consumption and eliminates operating noise. These reliable and cost-effective 2.5G PoE+ switches can increase your network’s performance. Additionally, this PoE+ switch has a 55W total PoE power budget, which can supply up to 4 PoE+ devices with up to 30W per port. only nets you about 300MB/s. This is about the top end of any spinning disk on the market currently. I have not had the time to thoroughly test it, indeed I have only tested it between 2 of my 4 machines connected at 2.5G, and it hits full speed and stays there solid (albeit not for long (drives/arrays being my issue). 🆒

InvalidError said:2.5GbE and 5GbE were created because most people and companies with in-wall/ceiling wiring don't want to replace wiring for 10GBase-T.

Actual transfer time is not guaranteed and will vary as a result of environmental factors, network conditions, and client limitations. As I'm more or less just responding to myself at this point, at least it's sort of a working document of troubleshooting and finding solutions lol.QTS is the operating system for entry- and mid-level QNAP NAS. WIth Linux and ext4, QTS enables reliable storage for everyone with versatile value-added features and apps, such as snapshots, Plex media servers, and easy access of your personal cloud. System

As mentioned earlier, upgrading from a 1G network to a 2.5G network does not require changing existing facilities. Compared to 10G switches, for small and medium-sized networks or home networks, 2.5 Gbe switches are more cost-effective. Upgrading from a 1G network to a 10G network requires rewiring and infrastructure replacement, while upgrading to a 2.5G network only requires replacing the switch. 2.5G provides a more suitable choice, and this cost-effectiveness has attracted many users to choose 2.5 Gbps switches.

torbjorn.lindgren said:If the installation as a whole (not just the cables) meets CAT-5e requirements the 2.5GBASE-T standard guarantees that it will work at up to 100M just as the 1000BASE-T standard guarantees it will work up to 100m. I got it a week ago. I needed 4-ports at 2.5G with the 5th port to connect to the 1G network. It works great. In surveillance solutions, camera quality and latency are critical considerations. For cameras, higher resolutions and lower latency indicate the reliability of a surveillance system. Achieving higher resolutions and lower latency necessitates higher transmission speeds. Traditional 1G PoE switches fail to deliver sufficient performance, while 10G PoE switches, although capable, come with significantly higher costs. The introduction of 2.5G PoE switches resolves this challenge. They not only increase transmission speeds by 2.5 times but also require no modifications to the existing 1G network infrastructure, enabling direct deployment. Moreover, 2.5 Gbe switches are more economical than 10G switches. Implementing 2.5 Gbps switches ensures cost-effectiveness while enabling real-time transmission of high-definition videos, providing clearer and more reliable surveillance footage. I have an appointment for a field technician to come test the lines tomorrow. At least, I hope that's still on the schedule. Because I received some confusing automated call message after my tech support phone call(s) with India that said "Hello this is Comcast We are calling to advise you that our technicians identified and corrected and issue related to the service problem that you reported If your services are restored" - which wasn't and isn't true lol. This IS fanless, this was one of my criteria and why I rejected everything before it. it has 2 sides closed and 2 sides well ventilated, you can see the large aluminium finned heatsink inside. As for heat, I can not comment as I have only tested between 2-machines simultaneously and it is sat horizontally in free air on top of a 1G switch and this is not where it will stay.

I hope that as I make more connections in the IT world, I can figure crap out like this myself and help others. Currently I'm wondering if I'd benefit from getting a "better" NIC card i.e. Intel X550-T2 2-Port 10GB Ethernet Converged Network Adapter. I'm still not sure why or how it'd be helpful in this scenario of not being able to get those elusive 1200mbps speeds down, except that from what I read Intel makes some of the best NIC cards/adapters and generally have good driver support vs Realtek. But what do I know? I know nothing Jon Snow. QuTS hero is the operating system for high-end and enterprise QNAP NAS models. With Linux and ZFS, QuTS hero supports advanced data reduction technologies for further driving down costs and increasing reliablility of SSD (all-flash) storage. System D-Link could be clearer about the benefits of the turbo mode feature and customization options for the LEDs are limited, but overall, it is a sturdy, solid, and high-performing piece of equipment. Additionally, with the increasing affordability of 10GbE and the widespread use of 2.5GbE ports in WiFi 6 client hardware, this switch has a wider audience than it would have had just a couple of years ago. Overall, it is a great piece of equipment and I highly recommend it.Having CAT-5e cables doesn't guarantee that all the other required parts are OK (like cable lengths, max untwisted length inside the connector, connector quality and so on) but in practice 2.5G will works with almost all cables that works with gigabit, that was part of the design goal but because it does push more data it can be slightly more sensitive to subtle errors. As for cables (nofanneeded asked), I was previously using direct-connect between 2 individual PC's (no switch) so I pre-bought CAT.7 and CAT.8 cables which work perfectly. I verified I can get 1300 and nearly 1400 mbps speeds when I run the 2.5ge port on the S33 modem straight to my desktop PC. I've also verified I can break over 1gbps Wi-Fi speeds on various PC devices (desktop, laptop) and mobile phones when plugged into the 2.5g port on the router, but then anything hardwired is capped at 900-something MBPS.
