I just bought an Asustor Nimbustor AS5304T. This has dual 2.5Gbe ethernet ports. My PC has a 10Gbe ethernet port but my switch is only 1Gbe capable.
So I tried to place my NAS 'between' the PC and the switch, hoping that the PC would see the NAS at 2.5Gbe whilst the PC and NAS would then see the rest of the world at only 1Gbe.
To be clear, NAS ethernet port 1 to PC, NAS ethernet port 2 to switch.
However, when I do this the PC cannot see the internet, but can see the NAS.
How can I achieve what I want, without having to buy an expensive new switch?
Thanks!
PS I'm not a Trump nut, I just mispelled Mega :-)
