I just had fiber installed yesterday and got a 3Gbit plan.

The modem provided by the ISP has 1x 10GbE port and 4x gigabit ports.

I got a 10GbE NIC for my Synology NAS, which is installed right beside my modem.

However my PC is sitting at the opposite end of a 30m+ Cat5 run. The silver lining is there’s a pair of them.

Can I bond them somehow to make them a single 5GbE port?I haven’t bought a switch or router yet.

Considering the Mikrotik crs317-1g-16s+: https://www.ispsupplies.ca/MikroTik-RouterBOARD-CRS317-1G-16SRM

    3G/s and a SSD might be able to saturate it f you’re lucky.

    The one is bits the other is bytes ;)

    Network…3 gigabits, while a decent nvme gen 4 can do 4-5 gigabytes

    Even old SATA connected SSDs should be able to keep up if you don’t buy trash.

      Most ppl might even have spinning drives, they can do ~100 Mbyte/s…
      Some have upgraded to SSD, that can do up to ~500 Mbyte/s.
      And a few have upgraded to NVME, most are in the range of 1000-2500 Mbytes/s

      All these numbers are for fresh new drives.

      3 Gigabit = 375 MBytes/s. Yes I can do the math!
