Very slow connection between NAS and IMAC
Hi all, Any advice appreciated. First, my set up. iMac <cat5> TP Link switch <cat5> Router (Thompson 585) <cat5> NAS I have an iMac that was running OS10.5 and has now been upgraded to 10.6 w...
Hi Guys,
Right, I've plugged the nas into the switch that the mac is plugged into and I can stream as I should be able to. Guess that means that the router is the issue (or the cat5 (might be a cat5e) between them but that seems less likely to me).
It's not convenient to leave the NAS on the switch permanently - better to fix the network. SO - any idea why my router is slowing my traffic that much? I can't see evidence that it's affecting anything else. For example:
NAS <Cat5> Router <Cat5> Switch <Cat5> Switch <Cat5> PS3
can stream just fine.
Cheers,
Chas.
