my network is all 100Mbps at the moment - router, a couple of switches and a couple of HP print servers - am looking at a new router - not desperatly fussed about gigabit but thats what it is so will have it
i dont [think] i need that speed but as it will be there would think about using it
its a 4 port plus input - so i will need one port to connect to 1st 8 port switch - leaving 3 spare ports - i have 2 Naslite boxes that i could add gigabit nics and one [main] PC that has a gigabit nic - i use this pc for control over the Naslite servers - so if i connect all 3 of those to the gigabit router would that part of the network run at gigabit speeds for transfering stuff to and from the nas boxes - or would everything revert to 100Mbps as that is also part of the system
assuming it would work as i hope whats a good gigabit network card - apart from that part of its spec i would want it to be able to accept WOL [wake on lan] as i use that to power up the servers when needed
