I am about to upgrade to Gigabit Internet and just want to make sure my internal network is up to it. I have a decent wired network supplemented by a wireless network. I have 2 Synologies, a 918+ and a 215+ basically one backs up the other.
As an experiment using a File Explorer on a Windows PC I copied a 35Gb folder from one NAs to the other, the folder contained music and video files.
The two NAS and the PC are connected (upstream) to a TP-Link managed gigabit switch which is connected (upstream) to a Wireless Router (it is a cheap Chinese router but I am quite impressed by it). The cables are all Cat6 according to the lettering on the cables, they were bought from Ebay.
The folder transferred at approx 35MB/s
I set up a remote folder on one of the NAS and copied the same folder accross, this time I got 55-65 MB/s
I can live with that but I would have thought I should be doing better - but I don't know where to start investigating
FWIW, I SSH'd onto a NAS (192.168.1.101) and did a traceroute to the other NAS (192.168.1.100) and I got a 1 line response
xyz@DS215Plus:/$ traceroute 192.168.1.100
traceroute to 192.168.1.100 (192.168.1.100), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets
1 192.168.1.100 (192.168.1.100) 0.111 ms 0.121 ms 0.092 ms
xyz@DS215Plus:/$
which I would think indicates that the route goes 'up' to the switch and 'down' to the other NAS, doesn't have to go to the router.
Any suggestions on what to look for or investigate?
