Hi All,
I've been running an er-x and unifi sw8 with vlans for some time. The vlans are all running from the er-x with the unifi trunked to it.
Till recently i never noticed the bottle neck in my setup. If i'm copying a large file from my pc which sits on vlan 100 to my nas which sits on vlan 200, i noticed that the max throughput i was seeing was around 100mbps up and down. This is far below the performance of the nas, which i double checked by moving the pc into the same vlan and conducting a speed test there resulting in around 500mbps up and 800mbps down.
What affordable setup is out there ? Should i be looking at something like the ER12 as it has an 8gbps "backplane" to replace the er-x ?
Perhaps an affordable SMB Layer 3 switch ? Or potentially making the er-x a layer 2 switch and using an old i3 nuc with pfsense ?
Thanks for reading.
