I added a second Ethernet port to my NAS and finally stopped fighting network slowdowns
The author enhanced their NAS by adding a second Ethernet port to improve network performance. This upgrade addressed issues with network slowdowns during simultaneous tasks, such as file transfers and media streaming. Although it didn't double the speed, it significantly improved the overall efficiency of the NAS.
- ▪The NAS was initially used for basic storage but evolved into a central hub for various tasks.
- ▪Network slowdowns were noticed when multiple applications competed for bandwidth.
- ▪Adding a second Ethernet port allowed for better distribution of network tasks, improving performance during simultaneous operations.
