Don't esablish any other network connection on your windows PC - only the 10 GbE link to the GS110EMX, from where you can reach the NAS2 on the other 10 GbE GS110EMX port, and the rest of your network on the 1 GbE ports, with one link to the router.

Hi Schumaku,
that's what I did.
GS110EMX
Port 1: Router
Port 2: Printer
Port 3: NAS1
...
Port 9: PC (Cat 6a)
Port 10: NAS2 (Cat 6)
But 10Gb between PC and NAS2 is not established, it is still 1Gb LAN.
Does it downgrade to 1Gb automatically? What could be the problem?
Lmk
thx
Alex

The Ethernet links are negotiated established between the PC adapter, and the switch port, and the NAS2 and the switch port. If one of the links does run on a lower speed, of course the connection speed is limited to the slowest link. Troubleshooting does begin with checking the MultiGig port (#9 and #10) LEDs on the GS110EMX, check the PC adapter properties and status, check the Syno 10 GbE adapter, .... always LED indications and information available on the relevant OS.
