Ethernet speed? Anyone know the speed of the ethernet port? 100Mb? Gb?

The manual agrees. It's listed there as Fast Ethernet (100Mb/S) for RJ45 wired Ethernet links.

According to Wikipedia:10/100 Mbit Ethernet (Attansic L2), 802.11n wireless LAN, Bluetooth

Use a USB to RJ45 adapter. You get the same result. Try to find USB3 version. It is a faster. Should not cost more than few dollars, and it is much cheaper than fixing broken Ethernet port. If not physically damaged make sure you have the right driver.

Gigabit is pointless Unless you have a hundred high speed computers all hooked up to it trying to download a massive amount of data at once. In most instances, 10MB is plenty fast for data transfer. 100MB is even overkill. Your computer couldn't even process that much information per second unless you have an insane fast computer with high speed SSD drives. Or you're trying to stream 4K video in a hotel room, for some reason. If you find a Marriott with 4K tv's in the room - let me know.

It has an ethernet port on the back, I think it is only 10/100 though, pretty standard.

I've used Cat6 and I'm getting 10GB with no problems. Note that I'm use 3 ft cables. Can't say if there would be problems with longer runs.

Caveat, I am only using WiFi, but according to the Quick Installation Guide, the RJ45 supports Gigabit Ethernet.

Yes, it does have dual gigabit Ethernet ports.Quicker than the 440? I don't know.

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.

Gigabit ethernet is backwards compatible and should work just fine with any flavor of ethernet. A USB to ethernet adapter, may or may not function at the gigabit speed, but should support other flavors of ethernet just fine. If you want up-to-date technology and maximum speed over ethernet, I would suggest the T'bolt to e'net adapter....my 2

No. NETGEAR AC1200 Dual Band Wi-Fi Router Fast Ethernet w/USB 2.0 (R6100-100PAS) shows the available ports.

Cat5 - can handle 10/100 Mbps speeds (Fast Ethernet) at up to 100 MHz bandwidth. Cat5e (enhanced) - can handle 1000 Mbps speeds (gigabit Ethernet) at 100 MHz. Cat6 - can handle 10 gigabit Ethernet at 250 MHz. Yes it can work. But the speed will be limited to up to 1Gbps or 1000Mbps only. If your Cat6 line go over 1Gbps, using Cat5e will not be able to maximize your connection speed.

Yes it does have ethernet port and I think it is the standard 10/100. I run my on wifi, it is very fast. So far it hasn't given any problems.

@ T. Vanlienden... Yes, this is exactly what I use mine for. One must keep in mind however, that this is a USB 2 and therefor the speeds are not going to be like a pure ethernet connection. As long as you're OK with the slower speed, this should work just fine for you. Hope this helps...

Thanks for the post.My speeds have slightly improved since I upgraded my network to gigabit and upgraded my system to quad 64 bit. My router, NICs, switch, and of course the NAS are all gigabit now. Still, I only get up to 10MB/s. Seems faster than what windows reports though. The only thing I didnt upgrade was the cables, from what I was told cables shouldnt make a difference. Thanks for the reply.

I usually get 60 -70 MBps . This is much better than a wireless connection. This is an alternative to not having a ethernet connection.

The best performance is over Ethernet. The USB port allows you to plugin the manufacturers wireless adapter so that the Transporter can operate over a wireless network. I believe the USB port is not supported for any other use.but you can use the Transporter wirelsslt by installing a

This unit utilizes any Ethernet port regardless of type of provider equipment. Mine is connected to a port on a router mounted to a 25 ft. outdoor pole. At about 800 yards, my performance is 17 meg download on 20 meg download service.
