    high CPU usage on gigabit ethernet

    I bought my Synology DS-209+ this weekend, so I quickly transfered most of my data onto the NAS over a wired gigabit connection. While I was monitoring the speed (about 33-34MB/s) I noticed the CPU usage of the client PC was quite high: 70-80%, while my AVG was disabled. As it's a Core2Duo...

    what gigabit switch would be good for home use

    what about Allied Telesis, as my electrician proposed? Is that a good choice? Or is there better around price/quality? I just noticed the firm of my nieces husband is a distributor here in the region, so I'm hoping for a discount :D I found the AT-GS900-16 (unmanaged) for €184 and the...

    what gigabit switch would be good for home use

    Thanks for the suggestions. I've got a lot to compare prices now :) I'm not going to combine smaller switches though. I think on the long end that's less power efficient than just buying 1 switch that has the number of ports I need. I'll just keep the D-link in reserve. I don't think my ISP...

    what gigabit switch would be good for home use

    @dumbfound: internet traffic isn't that demanding for a switch. I'd say any average 10/100 switch would do. But I'm curious about the p2p and video streaming, cause I have such traffic myself. My internet is kinda slow when I'm connected to a lot of peers, even when my ADSL line speed isn't...

    what gigabit switch would be good for home use

    I'm building a new house for the moment, and will need switch with at least 16 gigabit ports. My electrician proposed a switch of Allied Telesyn (eg AT-GS900/16), but as I don't know that brand at all and we're using Cisco at work, I thought of buying the Linksys SR2016 for home. It's an...
