Network connections will take the shortest path between devices, assuming they're on the same subnet etc. Traffic will only go to the router if it can't get there directly. You can actually have the router on 1G and all the switches be 10G and still get 10G speeds between devices.

 

Get an unmanaged switch unless you need to do things like VLANs or traffic management, etc.

@AbydosOne thanks for this, i am looking at this qnap switch, just in future if my upgarde my pc and nas to 10gbps its have 2x10gbps and 4x2.5gbps

Hi guys,

I just upgrade my internet connection 2.5gbps, and my router have 1WAN 2.5 and 1LAN 2.5.

My computer and mac both have 2.5 ports also my QNAP server is also 2.5gbps.

My question is i know whatever switch i get my mac and pc both can use 2.5gbps speeds as well my nas can use that speeds too.

but i trasfer lots of files between my computers and nas if i connect unmanaged switch will my data first got to from computer to switch then router then back to switch again and then to my nass  orrrrrr it will go from computer to switch then straight to nas.

if its going to end up router and then where it needs to go will a managed switch can fix that?

Kind Regards
