                    My current one doesnt have very good LAN transfer speeds. Which should I go for as a replacement?

10/100 isnt enough. Too slow.Neil_Jones said:spaceboy said:My current one doesnt have very good LAN transfer speeds. Which should I go for as a replacement?What router have you got now? Most routers made in the last 20 years have at least 10/100 on them, more recent ones have 10/100/1000.0 -

            Do you even need to change the router? Just get a gigabit switch. And avoid wifi if you're that concerned about network throughput, of course.Proud member of the wokerati, though I don't eat tofu.Home is where my books are.Solar PV 5.2kWp system, SE facing, >1% shading, installed March 2019.Mortgage free July 20230

            You really need to provide some more detail about your current setup - which router, which NAS, which devices are using the NAS and how - wired or wireless, what is the problem you are trying to fix0
