2Gbps connection paired with a 400Mbps router
2Gbps connection paired with a 400Mbps router
The solution involves purchasing a 10G switch and connecting it to the SFP port of the modem.
Unfortunately, they provided just one router with maximum speeds under 1Gbps, as I mentioned earlier.
Their customer service reached us after a long pause, finally responding. They explained that their router only handles up to 1Gbps, so achieving 2Gbps would require purchasing a modem that supports their optical connection and a switch with 10Gbps ports.
If the router can handle it and still delivers just 1Gbit per transfer without assurances, it will distribute the workload evenly. Would a lone device on the network even be able to manage it? It seems more logical to move Plex onto its dedicated hardware, avoiding this issue from the start. Additionally, since most traffic appears to be outbound and isn’t restricted by the 500Mbit uplink package, the claim that the router can only support 400Mbit feels misleading. The ability to handle 1Gbit simultaneously for two devices indicates the original limit of 400Mbit was incorrect, as it clearly supports 2Gbit.
They confirmed they can handle 1Gigbit to multiple clients at once, exactly as intended. The goal isn’t to push one connection to its limit, but to ensure each client receives a stable, faster experience without frequent conflicts.
