Hello everyone!
I recently purchased a new Synology NAS for my Mac Studio and am excited to finally leverage the 10Gbe port. However, I'm faced with a dilemma on how to proceed.
I've noticed that switches with 10Gbe ports are quite expensive for their basic function, so I'm considering an alternative solution. Instead of investing in a pricey switch, I'm thinking about getting a more advanced router like the Asus GT-AXE16000. My question is, do the two 10Gbe ports on this router function similarly to a switch? I plan to connect one port to my Mac Studio and the other directly to the NAS.
Has anyone here tried this setup? Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot for your help!
