The cable Netgear ships should work fine. Though cables can get damaged, so if you have another ethernet cable it is worth a try.

The two Ritrasmissioni errors at the bottom are not too unusual, but everything else should be 0. I suggest that you try clearing the errors and do another test, and report the new error counts. Some of these errors might be due to disconnecting/reconnecting the ethernet or restarting the PC.

| what should be the approximate speed of file transfer with a GB direct connection? |
You should be seeing transfer speeds between 25-40 megabytes per second for large file transfers. (

| Can I use Jumbo frame with direct connection? |
Yes, but you should first get the basic connection running before you try that.

| Would a GB switch give more speed than a direct connection? |
No. Nothing can be faster than the direct connection. However, a good switch will not slow it down either. Most people would use a switch, and generally would only use a direct connection for troubleshooting. The switch allows multiple devices (PCs, media players, the NV+, etc) to connect with each other. It also allows them all to connect to the internet.
