I don't plan to nor am I trying to get 10 gigabytes over the internet I just want to be able to have the best connection to my USB storage device as well as have a connection to the internet. When I'm transferring 10 or 12 movies from my main Drive to my USB external drive that's connected via USB 3.0 I'm only getting about 50 or 60 megabytes per second transfer rate from my main computer to the drive with the 10 gigabit connection I should be able to maximize the USB 3.0 skip abilities with the way my way to set up and guess between 120 and 240 megabytes per second give or take.FWIW, smallnetbuilder.com was only able to get 103.7 megabytes per second out of the USB 3.0 port (link). Even a Gigabit port can handle that.
Awesome!!!! Ive been getting so many "i dont knows" it was crazy . thanks for the help
It will be interesting to see how the speeds of the internet and your usb attached drive do on gaint pipe line from the normal small pipe line of a cat6 or cat7 and what your ping times are only if your isp had a 10giga internet service to go with your new super high lan to push it's limits.
The SFP+ is a LAN port. The rest of the ports, including the WAN port, are Gigabit Ethernet. How are you going to get 10 Gbps from the Internet?
I know that 1 giga is the current limit of lan ports on routers today I would hope that 10giga or faster could become standard cost is the main limiting factor now but should come down as time goes on.
To add a little bit of insight ... all ports, being the SFP+ (10 GbE), the single GbE ports on the switch, and the optionally trunked (GbE switch port 1&2) interfaces, and last but not least the 2.4/5/60 GHz primary SSIDs are all connecting into the same broadcast domain, the same TCP/IP subnet.
I remember when the cell phone came in a bag and was analog not todays digital phones that fit in your packet I see a point in time where like the cellphone started as toy for some became needed for eveyday life and the must used iteam today. The 10gigabit internet true today 10giga internet is not needed by every one today but give it say seven to ten years time life with out will be impossible. Remember the Raytheon radar oven that needed water running thought it to cool a radar tube today it is your micro wave oven that you use to cook or warm food in.
