Having started the process of hard wiring my house (see previous thread on weighing up pro vs DIY!) I have been doing some testing of cables/speeds etc. and despite doing a few searches cannot work out if my speeds are 'acceptable'
I have found that cabling through from the router (draytek) to a switch right next to it vs cabling through to another floor on a 3m cable into a 24 bit switch as zero impact on data transfer speeds so thats a good start I feel as the 'max' i get is still the max i get even when adding the longer cable and new switch into the equation makes no difference
I currently get between 50 MBps (409 Mbps) and 56 MBps (453 Mbps) write to a Synology NAS on approx 0.5 gb transfer tests. Read I get 97 to 105 MBps (773 Mbps to 850 Mbps) and this is all on gigabit switches and cat 6 cable
Is this in the right ball park or should I be seeing faster data transfer speeds? I am about to start cabling another 12 ports through to other rooms so really want to be sure this is as good as it gets before I do so
Thanks in advance
