link aggregation between two NAS'?
I have a synology with 4 ports and a RN312 with 2 ports. Can I connect 2 ethernet cables directly between these 2 NAS' to speed up file transers to 2Gbps?
I bonded ports 3 & 4 in the Synology....

What do u recommend for a NIC for the pc? Some of the dual nic cards are almost the same cost as the 10GbE nics.The Aquantia AQC-107 equipped 10 GbE 10GBase-T cards are a good choice. Avoid the Tehuti TN-4010 variants due to driver issues and sometimes average performance.
I picked up one of the ASUS XG-C100C cards when they first came out. They use the Aquantia AQC-107 controller.

I get the power issue - though I'd be fine with having 10GBase-T (or MultiGig) NIC in a laptop docking station.
The most recent laptop I bought (for my wife) had no ethernet at all. There are a couple of Thunderbolt 10GBaseT adapters out there - they might be ok for a home office.
The switches are still very expensive - around 10x more than gigabit. That will certainly limit the number of 10GBase-T ports I deploy.

Thanks guys. I did see in my synology dhcp settings for all the lan ports. Gonna take a breather on this since it’s getting a bit too complicated for me.
