What router do you have? What speeds do you wish to acheive? What are the NIC(Network Interface Cards) you've got on the NAS and your PC?

I am getting pretty fucking sick and tired of the "watch something else" responses. It's such a cop out answer because you could say that about basically anything, and it doesn't address the actual complaints. People use it as some kind of card they pull when they can't actually respond to the criticism raised but they still feel like they need to defend some company/person. If you don't like this thread then stop reading it. See how stupid it is? It's basically like telling someone "shut the fuck up". It's not a clever responsive, it doesn't address anything said, and it is rude.

MKBHD is but an Apple propagandist and fanboy. Take his videos with a grain of salt, especially about anything Apple. In his video titled "I Visited Apple's Secret iPhone Testing Labs!", he has shown that he makes no effort to fact check Apple's claims, and takes it at face value. I do not believe he can be trusted as an Reviewer/Influencer.

gigabit is pretty standard at this point.

 

Any generic CAT6 cabling will do gigabit and not care.  Most good cat5E will as well.  Cabling isn't a big deal.

Most decent routers are now gigabit, and that will be what controls max data speeds.  (IF your router is old and is 100mbps?  You're capped there.)

 

But more importantly:

 

How much data are you moving at a time?  How many people are accessing at once?

 

If you're just streaming one video file at a time?  100mbps will actually do that fine.  (Copying to the NAS will take quite a bit longer, but wevs.)

I have some basic router.and got nas 2018 model 
I can provide speed test but i think thats not needed

none of that is helpful.

 

What kind of NAS is it?

What is the actual model of the router?
What ethernet card does your PC have?

 

You're basically asking "I have a car.  Does it have adaptive cruise control?" without actually saying anything about it.

That way, we would get notified of your reply.

 

Also, that information is basically useless. Could you name the brand and model, or the serial number which is usually found on the back of your router? That might help.

It doesn't matter what router the ISP gives you.

 

Your computers should have 1 gbps ethernet cards. This means that you can connect all computers including the NAS to a network switch or the router (if it has enough ports in the back) and then any computer can transfer files from another computer with speeds up to 1 gbps ( around 125 MB/s) - if the hard drives in the computer can read files from the drive at that speed. 

If the router is maximum 100 mbps, you can buy a switch with at least 5  1 gbps ports and connect the "WAN" port (or one of the ports, if there's no port titled "WAN") to the router with one ethernet cable.

If your NAS has a 10gbps network card then you could buy a switch that has at least a 10gbps port - this way the NAS is connected to the switch at over 1,2 GB/s so it could in theory gives files to 10 computers at up to 1 gbps each or 125 MB/s 

There are cheap switches that have a few 1 gbps ethernet ports and one or two SFP+ ports which are capable of 10 gbps. With such switches, you can buy a 30-50$ 10gbps optical network card and then use a DAC (direct attached cable) cable to connect the network card to the switch.
