Set up a 10 gig Ethernet connection
Set up a 10 gig Ethernet connection
I need to configure a 10 gig network for your PC. I understand you require a router and Ethernet cables that support 10 gigabits per second. You mentioned difficulty finding a 10 gig router and aren't sure about other requirements. Your goal is to reduce download times compared to 1 gig Ethernet.
Yes, I understand that your local network won't boost your ISP speed.
You won't achieve quicker downloads with 10 gigabit Ethernet unless you subscribe to a multi-gigabit internet plan from your provider, which usually costs over $200 each month.
The key you're overlooking is a network plan from your ISP that supports 10Gb speeds.
A 10 gigabit link would cost around $700 a month, delivering about 1.25 GB per second—roughly a bluray every 80 seconds. A 1 TB drive would fill up in about 13 minutes. If you need several office buildings connected, let me know what you’re aiming for and I can help you plan it.
You're likely to receive a fiber modem from your ISP for high-speed internet. Then link the modem to a 10 gigabit switch, which should work well without management. Connect it directly to your PC using a 10 gigabit Ethernet port—either built-in or via an add-in card. Ensure the cables are Cat 6a or Cat 7.
i honestly feel this is a waste of my time. someone more patient will explain to you that your speed is determined by whatever isp is in your area and how you by yourself have absolutely no use for a multi gb connection
