Hello everyone, I'm pretty new so bear with me please.
I have a FreeNAS installation installed working and connected to my computer. However I am lacking the speed desired from a 1000mb connection. Instead I am only getting 11MB transfer speed.
I am in a sticky situation with my network as I am on a school campus network. I have the mac address of the NAS registered with the school's dhcp service. That is how I was able to get an ip address assigned to the NAS initially.
The router in my room goes to a switch, which connects to the devices in my room. (NAS, TV, Computer, Xbox)
I'd like to try and figure out how to be able to connect to the NAS as directly as possible so that I can increase my speeds.
The NAS and computer each have 1 ethernet port so I can't have a dedicated one.
I'd be happy to provide any extra information if needed, just not sure what else I need right now. As far as I know every device and cable supports speeds up to 1000mb so that should not be the bottleneck. I think the bottle neck is that the NAS is connected to the schools network and my computer is having to go through the network to access the NAS, therefore I'd like to bypass that since there is a direct physical connection to the NAS via the switch I have.
Any help would be much appreciated!
