What is the speed of the ethernet port on this device? 100Mbps is too slow as my internet speed is 300Mbps at night and I don't want 1/3 speed.

In my configuration I'm running from a high speed cable modem to a 10/100 Mbps switch then to the ChannelMaster unit. But you pose an interesting question. I know that you can run Gigabit Ethernet over Coax. I do have a Gigabit switch that I can swap out for the 10/100. I will do that and see what speeds I end up with.

Short answer is no. Also remember that this runs at USB 2.0 and fast ethernet, the best speeds you can hope for will be in line with ~10MBps. For example; to write 1TB of data it will take ~30 hours.

thanks for clearing that up. I can't believe they'd leave the ethernet port off of the "streamlined" model, though. Very annoying! Hopefully still worth it, though. Should be a great picture, which is the most important part.

Has to do with speed 100Mbps or 1000Mbps http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/10/100/1000

If you are using the wireless feature, try connecting directly to ethernet port. Also check with your cable provider. Maybe your internet connection is not fast enough.

Hi Jeff, to my understanding that is determined more by the level of service available in your area as far as who your Internet provider is. I was very happy with the device itself and the speed of the service in my area. The more traffic there is on the network the slower the speed.

I had same problem. Wired connection gave me D-60MBPS, U-12MBPS and wireless gave me D-1MBPS, U- 12MBPS.. the internet was very slow. I followed Van Nguyen's advice to change the setup "You need to log into the router and go to the Advanced tab then go to Setup and QoS Setup. Uncheck Enable WMM (Wi-Fi multimedia) settings and apply" and i started getting D-22MBPS, U-12MBPS.. thanks!! hope this helps to others.

Old post, I know, but I thought I would point this out to anyone reading this in the future.It's important to note that 10/100 Ethernet is 100 Mbps (Megabits per second), which is NOT the same as MB/s (Megabytes per second).That boils down to 10/100 Ethernet being slower than USB 2.0.1 MB = 1024 kB, 1 kB = 1024 bytes, 1 byte = 8 bitsGigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000) can be faster than USB 2.0 but it is hard to actually get gigabit, you need a computer that can handle it at that speed, a router that can, the NAS itself, and the cables themselves matter.5 MB/s is still slow for 10/100 though, that's about 42 Mbps.

Not an answer but another question :-). Does this device also have more ethernet ports (4) like my present router that I use along with my DSL?? I presently have a need for three with equip. adjacent, nearby my router??? TIA for any info.

I'm pretty sure they are just 100Mb ethernet. The single port bridge connects to my router at that speed. 100Mb is fast enough to stream to and between my TiVo boxes.

Don't know, I do not have a gigabit Ethernet connection. Slight limit on speed but not noticeable for the type of things I do on a tablet. I could not find anyone who makes a USB 3.0 / Ethernet "all in one" hub.

The description says it has "10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet port", which is wired ethernet

Please look for an ethernet switch, 5 port switches run about what the prerequsite 2 of these cost, and they are better for what anyone needs this for. this is an artifact from when switches costs 3 times what they cost now.

This has only USB 3.0 and esata. I would recommend this as I have 2 NAS box from IOMEGA, and transfer rate is very low, I have cisco EA6500 with Gig port. I am getting speed not more than 10 mbps. Instead if I connect this device to the router, It does the same, with USB 2.0 and gives 15-20 mbps. I am not sure for what purpose you need ethernet.

Is the box on a wired connection, because if not it is sharing WiFi with all the other devices in your home. This can cause the slower speeds.

Yes, Gigabit ethernet is supported. The on-board network connector supports 10/100/1000Mbps connection speeds. 1000Mbps is equal to 1 gigabit per second, thus the term "Gigabit ethernet". Of course you should have a Gigabit Router\Switch and CAT5e or CAT6 cables to get the best speeds between your other LAN PCs. Your network is only as fast as the slowest device... or "weakest link".
