Hi, I recently bought an Intel Gigabit NIC since the NAS was crashing when transferring from a Samba share at a high speed, so I decided to ditch the onboard Realtek NIC. This has seen my speeds drop from ~27MBps to ~17MBps, and my seeks in Plex are much slower.
I just inserted the new NIC and updated the interface settings via the console to have the same static IP as was on the Realtek (I also of course moved the ethernet cable across from the Realtek to Intel). Do I need to change any other settings? All my plugins seem to work still.
I don't understand why the speeds have dropped so much? I would've expected a speed increase if anything.
This is the Intel NIC I bought: https://www.amazon.com.au/Intel-EXPI9301CTBLK-Gigabit-Desktop-Adapter/dp/B001CY0P7G
