E3000 Max Throughput for internet and USB NAS

I have been running some test to see what I can do for speed to the interenet and NAS drive.
I have a NIC card (1394) and the max connection I get is 400 Mbps. The card is suppose to be 10/100/1000 card and E3000 is the same... so why can't I connect at 1000?
Max transfer I get to my NAS is 64-80 Mbps. Is there any way I can get this to be faster? I have a 1TB western digital drive attached.
If I went with a NAS system like a Synology BYOD system could I get faster speeds for transfers if the NIC on the system was a 10/100/1000?
Thanks
Scott
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Most of the bottleneck comes from the processor, not the USB standard. Most NASs have a CPU with a clock speed higher than 1ghz which is dedicated to moving data to and from the hard drive. The E3000 on the other hand as a 480mhz processor which is used for multiple processes (e.g processing network traffic to and from various sources). I'm sure that you can already figure out what processes have a higher priority.
I don't work for Cisco. I'm just here to help.

Use airport for internet and ethernet for local?

Hi. Ive searched around and cant find an answer for this.
I have a 27" imac connected to my router and all works fine for accessing the internet.
I have several other devices close by that I want to connect via ethernet. If i connect the imac to another router via ethernet I can browse my local devices but loose internet connectivity. It is as if the imac will suspend the airport connection while the ethernet cable is connected. I don't want my second router to act as a bridge as it doesn't support N speeds.
Essentially, I want the imac to use airport for internet and the ethernet port for local files.... The only workaround I have is to unplug the ethernet cable from the back of the imac when i want to use the internet. I'm hoping it's just a DNS issue, but cant seem to resolve it.
I do not need internet connectivity for the other devices and don't see how i can do that without enabling the wireless side of my second router and then creating a bridge...
Any suggestions?

It is as if the imac will suspend the airport connection while the ethernet cable is connected.
The Connection Order on your iMac is set so that if both AirPort and Ethernet are "on", the iMac will give priority to the Ethernet connection.
If you want to configure your iMac so that it gives priority to an AirPort connection if both AirPort and Ethernet are "on", give this a try:
Open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock) and open Network
Click on the small gear icon at the bottom of the connection list on the left
Click on Set Service Order and drag AirPort to the top of the connection order list
Click OK, then click Apply
Now, if both AirPort and Ethernet are active, your iMac will give priority to the AirPort connection. If you want to connect using Ethernet, you will have to turn AirPort off by clicking the fan shaped AirPort icon at the top of your computer screen.

Can i use cdma for internet and gsm for phone at a time in Iphone4s?

Can i use cdma for internet and gsm for phone at a time in Iphone4s?

No. Phones sold by GSM carriers can't access CDMA at all and phones sold by CDMA carriers can only access GSM if they are a) unlocked and b) in an area where there is not CDMA.
Best of luck.

Time Capsule best to dedicate for backup and usb external for other data or partition TC for dual

I have lots of video and photo and have 2TB drive on my iMAC and want to use TC for backup.
1) Since alot of video and photo, can plug in via ethernet or "cable/usb" vs. wireless to back up my main iMAC? Otherwise very slow via wireless and perhaps better to get Seagate Go Flex or WD and go Firewire right?
2) I do need and like to share other data shared vs. just TC to Time Machine Backup, reading this community input, can I confirm that best practice is to let TC have as much dedicated space as possible for Backup and mix partition to do 500GB per say for data on the TC?
Here's my use case:
1) Time Machine tied to TC for the 2TB via wired to main machine iMAC - I only have this 1 iMAC.
2) Like to share data with iPhone and iPAD some pictures, etc... so do this with USB port and see data on the shared drive via iPhone and iPAD - no need to backup - just viewing - but need wireless - how does iPhone and iPAD detect this device - do I need app or something to view shared drive stuff?
3) Like to share and light backup for couple PC Win7 laptops just to get files back and forth or share things between family member - nothing intense - but can PC win7 laptops see the shared drive via IP setup or something like that?
Sorry for multi questions - my first iMAC so still stumbling around to see what works best for me.
Thanks,
///don

If I understand your question, depending on the signal strength, backing up over Wi-Fi can be rather slow. An Ethernet connection would be much faster, particularly for the first backup, which will the the largest. Backing up to a locally-connected disk will be faster still.
2) I do need and like to share other data shared vs. just TC to Time Machine Backup, reading this community input, can I confirm that best practice is to let TC have as much dedicated space as possible for Backup and mix partition to do 500GB per say for data on the TC?
I'm not sure what you mean by "mix partition to do 500GB per say for data on the TC". It's not recommended to share the same volume for Time Machine output and other things.
need wireless - how does iPhone and iPAD detect this device - do I need app or something to view shared drive stuff?
If you mean that you need wireless to give an iPhone or iPad access to the Internet, a Time Capsule would do that. If you want to give those devices access to content on a Time Capsule, that's still an immature technology, although things may improve with iOS 5 or updates beyond that.
3) Like to share and light backup for couple PC Win7 laptops just to get files back and forth or share things between family member - nothing intense - but can PC win7 laptops see the shared drive via IP setup or something like that?
A WIn7 computer will be able to see files on the drive(s) of a Time Capsule. I haven't tried that, but instructions are available.

How do I set-up my memory amount for max speed for FCP and Motion

Hey all, I have a Dual 2.3 G5 with (8 Gigs) Ram. I'm working with a new client. I want to set up my memory or whatever else to provide MAXIMUM processing power for FCP and MOTION. Does anyone have any recommended settings. I've maxed-our RAM. My card is (ATI Radeon 9600-128MB of VRAM)
Is there a setting in FCP that allows more processing power to be applied to that application ?
Appreciate any replies

Most of FCP's speed in performing functions is directly related to processor speed. The only way to increase performance would be to use a Mac with faster processors. Performance is also related to data throughput, so if you're working with high data rate video formats, a fast RAID and/or SATA (or eSATA) media storage solution would help.
The exception to FCP performance is when rendering/processing FX Plugs; they are dependent on the power of the graphics card.
Motion is mostly dependent on the power of the graphics card.
There is no way that I'm aware of that you can speed up RAM. Having the extra RAM will just mean that you can successfully work with more applications open at the same time.

What is the best external hard drive for macbook pro I think I want firewire for storage and usb for time machine

I have a macbk pro. I think a usb external drive would be fine for time machine but I'd like a fire wire external drive to store files.
Any recommendations on brand? The last recommendations were dated 2006/7
I have been waiting for a 1TB g-drive. Apparently they are special order. I did not think I needed anything larger than 1 TB to backup the 500GB internal drive.
I thought I'd get something bigger for storage. From what I have read I think its best not to partition the drive for backup and storage.
Also I'd like to have a bootable copy of my internal hard drive is that possible?

Don't know about the Best... But I have been using these without any issues...
LaCie quadra D2 for Manual Backup and Clone Backup
LaCie Rikki for USB Time Machine

Battery Care and Cable for Internet and Keychain :-)

I commend you people for helping out, so thanks!
I have a used sMBP I recently purchased. I noticed that the battery cannot be removed easily like the old MBP I had. Does Apple still recommend letting the battery go all the way down and right before it goes into safe mode, hook it up to power, let it fully charge and try to keep the charge around 60-70% charged? Should I do this "drain and charge to full capacity" once a month? Any reason when I initially hook it up to the white adapter, it does NOT say "charging," but it says" Not Charging." Somebody told me to reset the SMC controller (I think that is the right name) but the person gave me instructions for an older MBP, because what he told me to do did not make any sense
As far as hooking up the MacBook Pro to a wall internet connection should I use this type of ethernet cable or does it not matter? (The ethernet cable that came with the MBP is really loose at the MBP ethernet connection.) "Belkin RJ45 CAT 5e Ethernet Patch Cable (14 Ft.)" If not, any suggestions on the latest recommendation for an ethernet cable? Are there any ethernet internet plugs that take a firewire cable? I know sounds pretty stupid, but I thought I would ask.
Finally, why when I empty the cache n Safari 5.0.4 do some of my usernames and passwords get erased? I thought that would only happen if I "Reset Safari?" If I loose the passwords, are they stored in keychain if I have used them in the past?
thanks

Maybe I'm lucky. But here's my experience.
With the Lumia 800, battery life was poor initially but after a couple of days it impoved, and again too with software updates.
920 now I've had for two weeks and it is the only device I use. Habit I had with all my phones for last couple of years, is to have them charging overnight, with alarms set and in main profile for calls (text on silent). Same still with 800 and 920. Though both happily went through the night if I didn't plug them in.
920 originally battery wasn't great, but improved daily after about 3-4 days. This morning I took it off charge at 07:00, and it's still going strong at 21:30. Been on wi-fi, 3g, phone calls & texts in/out, podcast update check download and playing, email and calendars syncing. A fair amount of speech to text for calling and sms. Whatsapp, NFC and Bluetooth on all day. Screen brightness on 'high', Timeout at 3 mins. Much use of Facebook. Twitter, internet browsing, email, Bluetooth transfer, NFC writing and reading. Taken a couple of photo's and videoes, some Youtube viewing, and about half hour of games. Cloud Backup for text messages 'On', transferred photo's to skydrive and downloaded OneNote while away from wifi. Used several apps a few times throughout the day on wifi and/or 3g. Been on the Store.
Battery says 18% and 12 hours remaining. I think time remaining is somewhat misleading (as it's based on recent usage I suspect), but the percentage seems reasonably accurate, having checked it throughout the day. I plan to keep using it tonight for setting up more items on Nokia Reading, listening to music, some sms stuff, along with Facebook and Twitter mainly and will see when it dies.

DNS different for internet and both iTunes

Trying to troubleshoot internet connectivity problems with Chrome, Firefox and Safari.
1. Is DNS for Internet the same for iTunes and App Store?
2. What would cause all 3 browsers to not find any website (google, yahoo)

In the server zone files, the dedicated IP address should point to the machine name, as in name.someserver.com. The local IP address should point to name.local. If you have more than one domain name, the zone files should show their network IP address, not the dedicated IP address, which should only point to the machine name.
As a side note, I strongly advise against connecting a server directly to the Internet. It should be behind a router with DMZ/NAT/firewall capabilities. By the time you realize why, it will be too late.

Connecting to multiple Airport Express base stations for internet and TV?

I want to be able to use wireless internet and stream music to my stereo at the same time, but I only have a single ethernet connection behind my stereo and it's connected to the Pay TV. My options seem to be an ethernet splitter (maybe - any ideas?), getting a new ethernet connection installed behind the stereo so I can insert this into the same Airport Express base station I use for my music, or buying a second Airport Express base station and connecting it to one of the other internet connections in the room, then connecting to both Airport Express base stations at the same time.
Is this possible? Are there other alternatives?
Many thanks

Nate, Welcome to the discussion area!
Once you have a network, you can connect multiple AirPort Express (AX) to that network (wirelessly or via Ethernet). When your computer joins that network it can access all the AX.
You could take your current internet connection and run it into an inexpensive router with multiple Ethernet ports (not the AX). If this is a wireless router then your AXs could be located elsewhere and connect as wireless clients to that network. Once you computer joined that network it could stream music to the AXs.

Can you use Airport for internet and Gigabit Ethernet for file sharing?

i would like to complicate my network setup by using my Airport connection to the internet for internet access and then use the Gigabit Ethernet connection between my G5 tower and the MacBook Pro for file sharing, Compressor's distributed rendering, and possibly iTunes music/video sharing for Front Row.
is this possible? could i just run a cat 6 cable between the two and network them together? or do i need to get a Gigabit Switch?
i suppose i could just try running the cable between them and see what happens. i don't think these new machines require cross-over cables since the ethernet ports auto-detect that now, but is a cat 5e or cat 6 cable required for Gigabit speed?
thanks,
scott
PowerMac G5 2.5GHz Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Yes it would work. The Ethernet network would be used for local file transfers and the Airport for internet. However you will need to make sure Ethernet is at the top of the list of network ports in the Network Preferences.

Assign wifi for internet and Lan1 for internal network

I have a lan connection to my office which it has access to internet by proxy and I have wifi to access directly to internet
How can I assign wifi just for access to the internet and Lan just for internal net work?
By any chance is there any way to assign for example mail to get internet from wifi and the rest of the application use Lan for connection to internet ?

not sure if I understand you correctly
but many people use airplay mirror to mirror apps streaming movies and music from the Internet connection the device have
be it from a internet connection the device is currently airplaying to is of no relevance
but the device can't get data from both 3g and wifi at the same time
not even a computer can do that, it use it's metric settings to only! get data from the fastests source

Internet and usb disk sharing fine for Mac but doesn't work for XP

I have a new Macbook, and I also bought the Airport Extreme and a 500gig usb drive to share over the network with our Windows XP desktop. Everything works fine in the Mac, but not in the XP machine. It connects just fine to the base station, but there is no internet connection and it does not connect to the drive. The drive shows up in Bonjour but when I enter the password the error it gives me is that I need to have NetBIOS enabled. I made sure NetBIOS was enabled and still doesn't work. Uninstalled and reinstalled all the software... same problem. Could there be an issue with the network card on the windows computer? Any other suggestions?
The XP machine connected just fine to the internet the first day I had the airport extreme set up, but the next morning there was no interent connection. It works just fine connecting to the neighbor's wireless.

I am having trouble understanding what you are saying.
Microsoft Office can't run on the iPad, only on the Mac. There should be a 25-digit product key you are asked to enter when you run the installer disc. This code is found on the box it came in. If you are not being prompted to enter this code, try to re-run the installer.

HT201673 I would like to use cellular data for internet and my home network for printing, without having to cycle wireless on and off every time I print

the only internet connection I have at my home is a cellular connection. It is very unproductive having to turn wifi on to print and then back off to reconnect to cell service. Looking for options. I own a linksys e2500 router that I currently network through, but it has no internet connection, as no home internet available in my area.

You can have a go using a wireless bridge.. eg the airport express will do this.. you can join it to the iphone wireless running as a hotspot.. and then plugged into the TC wan port.. the TC has to be setup in router mode.. so this is going to give you double NAT errors.. and of course errors for all the time the hotspot is turned off.. but it can work. However you might find it requires you to manually connect up each time.. If you are really going to try and do this you will manage it.. but how fiddly it becomes might put you off after a week.
You will chew up your 5GB very fast using any streaming media even radio. So be very careful to track the usage.
Apple should have built in the TC the ability to plug in a wireless 3G modem.. via the USB but Apple have ceased to do adventurous stuff.
If you give up the TC as main router there are plenty of better products on the market that will handle multiple wan connections.. !!

Internet and usb problems

HelloI just bought a cb3-111 afew days ago, it worked great when I first brought it home but now a couple of problems have come to light.first of all i keep loosing internet connection, the wifi signal is full bars but it will just randomly loose internet even though the wifi is still connected and strong. Second, the usb ports connect and disconnect. Example, if I plug my phone into the usb port to charge it will connect then disconnect sometimes it will stay on for a while then disconnect and reconnect on its own. the same thing seems to happen with my thumb drive. I would greatly appreciate any help to resolve these problems

morb,
Check and make sure that you are using the most current build for your Chromebook. You can also try to run a powerwash on it to see if that fixes it.

I just repaired my sons macbook and I need to test it. Can I start it and skip the setup for internet and account names?

My son's MacBook pro needed a new hard drive. He is out of state for a month.
I want to test it to make sure it has been fixed, but I cannot get past the start screens which require
an owner name, an account name and passwords. It states the account name cannot be changed once
entered. I dont want to enter info that might not be his preferences.
Can I bypass this screen? There is no "skip"nor "continue" button.
It wont let me proceed without an entry. Can I bypass this for now to simple
run through the basic programs?

How did you install the OS and which OS version did you install?
You do need to set up an account. I never enter my address, etc, but usually (when I want to sell a machine with a new install) set up a temporary account "user" with a password of 12345 with as little info as possible (it also helps if it's not connected to the internet at that point because it won't be able to contact Apple's servers. That way you can run it and he can establish another account when is is back.
