Thanks for video a lot, maybe its my computer today but the actual video clarity – very blurry which is not usually the case from @LTS. Thanks for the information. Not rack mountable out of box :frowning:

Thank you @LTS_Tom for the testing you did. So you tested 10G WAN to LAN and I understand the caveat with the single vs multiple streams.

New use case: Photo/video editing: use the two 10G ports both on LAN side, will that work? For example connect a 10G capable server (NAS) to one 10G port and a 10G capable laptop to the other 10G port, reassign both as LAN ports, same VLAN. Will that route traffic duplex 10G? Should also need SFP to RJ45 adapters.
If not would it be better to save on firewall cost and get a 4100 and spend the saved $200 towards a good UniFi 10G switch?
Thanks, Pete

DON’T ROUTE STORAGE! It’s best practice to put the storage and devices needing access to the storage on the same network.
