Hello,
I am new to FreeNAS. Currently using 11.2-BETA3. No jail, no VM, just windows file sharing on RaidZ2 with LZ4 compression on.
I have to physically put the box in a separate room in my home in order to have cable access to my TP-Link WR840N router. My house is an old one and there is no network cable infrastructure. Clients are laptops. I personally am using heavily my desktop on same WiFi. I am using that system alone during day-time. No multiple users during work hours. My main usage is application development. I am using Delphi for my software development needs and my bottleneck is compiling them as Delphi generating big EXE files. My projects they are around 74MB in single EXE size.
I found a thread with iperf test and I tried to use it with same parameters for testing my cable network speed using my laptop when there is nobody accessing FreeNAS and results are as following:
My test on my WiFi is slower but not with a big margin:
I would like to understand if having a new WiFi Router with Gigabit port and 750Mbit/sec or higher advertised Wifi capabilities will actually increase above speeds.
Unfortunately, it is not an option for me to separate and put each WiFi and FreeNAS on different networks.
Thanks & regards,
Ertan
