Connecting NAS to network

[ed]

Thanks for your kind words about the channel! Regarding your setup, connecting your computer directly to one of the 2.5G NAS ports and the other NAS port to the 2.5G router port is a viable option for optimal transfer speeds between your computer and NAS. This direct connection can give you high-speed local transfers. However, if you want both high-speed local transfers and internet access simultaneously, you might consider getting a 2.5G Ethernet switch. Alternatively, you can connect your computer directly to the NAS for local transfers and use one of the NAS ports to connect to the switch, enabling both direct and switched connections for flexible usage.
