D-Link Announces 2.5 GbE USB-C Adapter, Client Switch
D-Link Corporation today announced their new DUB-E250 USB-C to 2.5G Ethernet Adapter and DMS-106XT Multi Gigabit Unmanaged Switch at the 2021 Consumer Electronics Show. The emergence of Wi-Fi 6 and increase of network traffic has driven wired networks to require higher bandwidth. Single Gigabit Ethernet is no longer sufficient. 2.5G Ethernet is one of the latest technology trends driving innovation in networking and changing the consumer experience. D-Link's new 2.5G Ethernet solutions upgrade networks by providing a more reliable, stable, seamless network and easily multiplying the network speed by 2.5 times.
D-Link's DUB-E250 is the smallest USB-C 2.5G Ethernet Adapter on the market that breaks network bottlenecks by enabling 2.5 times the bandwidth of a Gigabit ethernet connection and makes feasible many more high-performance online activities. Fully backward compatible with existing network equipment, the DUB-E250 allows for affordable, fast, worry-free transition to high-performance experiences. The DUB-E250 has also been recognized as this year's CES Innovation Award Honoree.
The DMS-106XT is D-Link's new unmanaged switch that accelerates network efficiency and delivers uninterrupted online experiences. Featuring 2.5G Ethernet ports and one 10G Ethernet ports, users can connect to 2.5G Ethernet notebooks for HD streaming and gaming while the 10G port connects to storage for quick backup or restoring of data. Turbo mode activates extremely low latency for high quality streaming and gaming with just one click, and customized LED provides users with instant network feedback. Its multi-gig ports are backwards compatible with existing cables and equipment so that it can be deployed where extra bandwidth is demanded without costly, time-consuming re-cabling or equipment replacement costs.

Going to rebuild it a bit once OMV 6 is out.
That doesn't sound like it'll be too much fun. You can't replace some old phone wiring with Ethernet? Assuming every room has phone wiring...
We have really messed up wiring in the house, as the original owner messed up a lot of the wiring, both Ethernet and electrical. When we fixed up the kitchen, the electrician nearly had a fit.
I also have the same problem as most people, the internet comes in at the ground floor, but as it's a small three storey house, all my computer stuff is one floor up, except the cable modem and the router. So I have one cable from the router that goes upstairs to my switch, to which then the computers and the NAS is connected to. I also have a wired port by the TV, but in their wisdom, Samsung only added a 100Mbps port on their TVs, which seems to only be capable of about 10Mbps... :ohwell:
I also need a Wi-Fi AP on all the floor, due to thick concrete floors and metal bars.
Have you tried this test? It's a bit different.
www.dslreports.com/speedtestYeah, I have two of their cards. Quite upset about the Marvell buyout too. There simply isn't enough competition and when someone like Aquantia disappears, there's even less competition. Aquantia based cards can still be had for less than $100, but only just.
I'd like something with two or three 10Gbps ports and then 2.5Gbps for the rest, but I guess we might see one of those soon enough. At the time I built my NAS I was expecting to use it a bit more than I've ended up doing, but it's so nice when you move large files around, as it's so much quicker than over Gigabit.
