Do you have your cup of coffee or choice of beverage at hand? This will take a minute.
I recently purchased my first Synology NAS device (DS211+) and I'm working on how and where it should be placed in the network so I'll draw a bit of a map.
Modem (not router) to>
Belkin F6D4230-4 Router providing wifi (to Roku) and 10/100 to Xbox (rarely on) and Synology (DS211+), IP Cam DVR, and a feed line to 2nd router.
2nd router is a Linksys E1500 also providing wifi to back part of house (Roku/Guest Network)+ one laptop and 10/100 to two laptops, a Seagate NAS device, and a feedline to an Engenious Access Point.
Not really important but cool: The Engenious transmits 2km is picked up and rebroadcast to another Engenious bridge (1km away) that feeds into a Linksys bridge that connects to my buddy's home network to provide internet (ISP doesn't provide coverage in his area.)
So tonight I find a Netgear WNDR4000 sitting in the garage that has Gigabit ports and 5Ghz wireless. Is it worth hooking up? Where should I hook it up in the network to provide the best intranet transfer speeds to get data loaded onto my Synology?
