Solve : gigabit switch help?

1.	Solve : gigabit switch help?
Answer» Ok i may be a big dummy but im just not sure what im doing. If i have a wireless NETWORK but want to wire up 1 desktop and my unraid server(check it out, its great!!!) directly how can i do this? Heres my problem? The server likes gigabit. The router ISNT gigabit. Can i PLUG in a gigabit switch directly to the router and have it still be truly gigabit between the two. No. A WIRED connection always goes as fast as the slowest thing on the connection. If I understand you right you have a server hook up to a switch and than the switch to a router? The switch should auto adjust itself to the right speed. I agree with spoiler your router will still slow THINGS down even though you have a gigabit switch but if you connect the gigabit switch directly to your computer you will notice a difference in speed.
