When considering the internet bandwidth requirements for the DiskStation DS423+ in a business setting with a team of 4 to 7-8 people, the key factor to consider is remote access. If most of the team members will be connecting to the NAS from remote locations, a fast internet connection is essential. However, it's important to note that the internet speed on both ends, both at the remote locations and where the NAS is located, will impact the overall performance. It's advisable to ensure that the internet connection at each remote location is also robust.
In a local network scenario, where the NAS is accessed within the same network, the DS423+ comes equipped with 1 Gigabit Ethernet (1GbE) LAN ports. Most likely, your network already consists of 1GbE switches and Cat 5e or Cat 6 cables. In such cases, the existing network infrastructure is sufficient to support the functionality of the NAS without any additional internet bandwidth requirements.
To summarize, assess your specific usage scenario and the need for remote access. If remote access is a priority, ensure that both your business location and the remote locations have adequate internet speeds. If you primarily use the NAS within a local network, the existing 1GbE network infrastructure will be suitable, and no specific improvements to the internet plan are necessary.
