So i have a setup of only 2 computers. Mine and my wifes. we both listen to lots of music and watch lots of movies. Thing is, is my computer is used for storing everything, (3tb of space) . I have them networked together through a dsl modem/router. (westell 7500 from century link)..... both wired connections.... everything works ok.. i guess...
well..... she has been complaining lately that her internet runs slow.... and i know....dsl kinda sux!!!! but its all thats available here at this time...
So it got me thinking, i've got a couple other 10/100 cards and a spare router laying around... is it possible to set up one network for our internet.... and a separate network for the file sharing?
I am basically wondering if moving the traffic of the file sharing off of the dsl/router to another router would help her internet speeds out. or would it really make a differnce since they are both 100mb connnections and they never reach peak.?
any thoughts?
