Yes, I know.............When i rarely transfer from my desktop upstairs (wired) i hit 80 Mb/s But like I said, i usually transfer from my laptop (wireless) downstairs I just wanted to know if switches could make a difference (Trendnet ve Netgear vs etc...)

laptop is wireless......I do most of my transfers that way (wireless from laptop downstairs to server upstairs) Yes, I use a cache drive (SSD 480GB) And I only have 4GB of Ram on my server.......

I transferred a large file (30GB) from my laptop downstairs to my server upstairs Server was hooked up directly on the router's LAN port Max speed was ~34MB/s......It was fluctuating between 25MB/s and 34MB/s, most of the time around 30/31 MB/s I will try again with the server hooked up to the switch and watch for differences....

Hello I'm trying a new router (Netgear Orbi RBK22 - 1 router + 1 satellite - It's the "small" mesh system, on sale at Costco for $149) The router feeds a Gigabit switch (Trendnet s80g) and my server is attached to the switch Can I improve transfer speeds with a better switch, or it won't make a difference? Thanks

Nothing decided yet......I'm using a slightly better CPU (Athlon X2 250) with 4GB, so good enough for what I do now But I saw at my local MicroCenter that the Ryzen 5 1600 is now at $80.......Might be an interesting choice for the price and 12,300 Passmark

it works....................thank you very much

Awesome.....I will try this later today and will keep you posted Thanks

I must do something wrong somewhere...When I shut down and restart, the icon "Kids" doesn't show up I need to do Command+K to connect again as a guest...then the icon appears. But won't stay after a restart

It seems to work..........i see 2 icons: Movies and Kids Is there a way to remove Movies though? And only keep Kids?

OK, so now it seems to work with "smb://tower/movies/kids" and "Guest" But I'm not sure how to find it quickly now, like an icon on the desktop?

I haven't specified users in unRaid....all my Shares are set as Public But when I select "Guest". it says "There was a problem connecting to the server"....!

It is indeed asking for a password......What would it be? I was not asked any password when i mapped my shares on Windows machines

it seems I can't install Kodi on LG TV since they are WebOS based, when Kodi is Android............

Looks like i need to upgrade then..................I posted in the motherboard and cpu section, was thinking Ryzen 5 1600 which is $100 right now !

Hello all I've just installed Plex app on my 4k LG TV I would like to give Plex a try on my Unraid server (6.6.6) but I don't know where to start 1) My hardware is VERY low end (Athlon II X2 250 and 4GB Ram) - Can I hope to have Plex running at all? 2) Assuming it can run, which one should I install: Binhex Plex, Plex linuxserver, Plexmedia server limetech, Plexmediaserver plexince, etc...??? Thanks
