Hello,

So I have copper network and my router has x2 10GB ports, one for 2.5G Fiber ISP and otehr for my Main PC.

Basically the cheapest Switch i can buy is QNAP x2 10G ports and x5 2.5Gb ports, its about 200USD

and i f i get it ill just be using 3 ports, 2.5Gb uplink to router and two 10Gb ports

I rather save money with direct connection, and maybe get tad faster performance and lower latency,

 

Please tell me if this setup is possible:

 

Unraid: 1Gb to Router [this part is problematic, i know that without this is posible to connect Unraid to PC and PC to be connected to router]

Unraid: 10GB Aquantia to my PC 10Gb Aquantia

My PC: 2.5GB to Router

My PC: 10Gb Aquantia to Unraid 5Gb Aquantia

 

Is this possible? I want to have the Unraid still have access to my Network say to stream directly to TV or to access files from iPad pro

 

Thank in advance

 

 

It's not a problem, just use different subnets.

In windows in the Ethernet adapter settings right?

And in Unraid?

 

What i wonder how will the computers know to connect each otehr trough direct 10Gb connection instead of going trough 1Gb router connection?

Use the 10GbE IP address or just add the Unraid server to the Windows hosts file.
