| 691205 | 2008-07-22 10:59:00 | Hey guys, I am thinking of buying a NAS hard drive to store all my photos and music so I can access it from different computers in my network, but I did a bit of reading and thought that I might consider upgrading my standard ethernet network to gigabit speeds. At the moment I have a D-Link 504g router (does that support gigabit??) and a cheap switch which is only 10/100Mbit I think. My place is wired with category 5e cable I think. My computer's motherboard supports gigabit ethernet though. In order to get gigabit speeds, what would I need to do? Is it just the switch that needs replacing or the router as well? Does anyone have any recommendations on which new hardware i should consider? Cheers aonghas |
