Need assistance with your router?
I’m looking for advice on networking setup. You’re considering the NETGEAR xr700 with a 10GB SFP+ port and want to add a PCIe expansion card to connect it directly to your PC. I understand you’re aiming for a more direct connection, even if it seems excessive. You also mentioned planning to host a web server later.
The product remains overly complex even for a simple web server, unless you anticipate heavy corporate traffic. It also overlooks the reality that external connections rarely reach 10gb speeds. These components are built for rapid internal transfers of massive files or for data centers with substantial bandwidth.
