August 12, 201411 yr Author From the provided link (http://www.iptime.co.kr/~iptime/prd.php?pf=3&page=&pt=129&pd=1), I found this: "165Mbps wired NAT".
August 12, 201411 yr That's a very unusual speed ... but whether it's 100 or 165 doesn't really matter -- both are far too slow to achieve the speeds UnRAID is capable of. Just get the Gb router and connect it and you'll be fine. BTW, you never answered the question r.e. what kind of READ speeds are you getting with the network? ... with a 100Mb router, you should see ~ 11MB/s; if it's truly 165Mb that should be ~ 17MB/s; if you happen to have a Gb router (which I think is very unlikely) you should see speeds approaching the sustained data rate of your disks ... possibly as high as > 100MB/s

The number "10 MB/s" is just a estimate from mac when copying files to the server.
August 12, 201411 yr Author Copy a file from the server to your Mac and see what it shows as the speed. That is what I have done. It was about 10 MB/s.
August 12, 201411 yr Author I just added Gb switch (TP-LINK TL-SG1008D). And now I am getting about 30 MB/s which is about a factor 3 improvement.
August 12, 201411 yr Author Yes, that's about right. Your read speeds should be even better. The number is very conservative since the initial estimated time generated by mac is always larger than the actual time. So it would be about 30-40 MB/s.
