Creating a basic local area network is straightforward.
Creating a basic local area network is straightforward.
I'm considering setting up the TV connection to the 1Gigabit Switch. Will I get a 10Gbps link from my Storage PC (Windows 10 with shared drives, AHCI, NTFS, no RAID)? I have an Editing PC, a Gaming PC, and another device on the 1Gbps network. My current internet is 100Mbps. Can the devices on the switch or router directly reach the Storage PC at 1Gbps? Should I prioritize the first option shown in the pictures? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Ensure you have a 10Gbps switch and compatible network cards for the PCs. This should provide 10Gbps connectivity between them. Just be aware that if the network is configured to block it, the connection won't work.
i mean what you're referring to is the setup details. i plan to receive a 4 or 5 port 10 gigabit switch and several 10 gigabit NICs during my next trip to singapore. these components aren't available in my country. i'm also expecting a 16 port tpl link gigabit router and some affordable 300mbps ap devices. all the cables will be cat6, except for the one going to the tv, which will be cat5e. the 10gbps devices will need to be close together, and the switch spacing should be under 5 meters per pc, which suggests cat6 will work well for my requirements.
Another reason to use the second layout method is maintaining constant network connection during router issues or restarts. Switches usually don’t fail, so they can still support your local network even when the router goes offline. This might seem uncommon, but you’d be amazed at how often it helps. Also, as requested, consider moving your gaming PC straight into the router (for online gaming) and placing the Wi-Fi access point on the same switch as your storage PC, especially if you’re using a smart TV, Roku, or Fire Stick.
You can check the options by looking in the router's configuration menu.
I think it contains the tutorial, and with the correct cards you might avoid needing to purchase the 10Gig switch.
You're referring to the 100Mbps connection? That's quite a premium option in my country! Even after my recent upgrade, I had only 25Mbps internet. My Fortnite sessions have ping between 90-120ms, and I've been experiencing around 150ms for a while—still manageable since I play for fun with my gaming friends. I'll also enjoy Assassins Creed and Star Wars titles. I plan to upgrade to a 10Gbps switch and get a 4 or 5 port switch, though I’ll wait until after finishing my exams. Most of the movies I’ve downloaded are 720p or 1080p, and I’ll stick to those on Netflix, capping at 720p or 1080p. I believe 300Mbps should easily handle everything without issues! I’ll be using a Xiaomi Mi Box Android TV with a standard 4K TV.
You won’t need a second subnet for 10GbE since all the traffic stays on the same network. The switch you’re getting is likely a MikroTik model with four ports and an SFP+ adapter. Connect the 1GbE port to another switch.
