Hi all,

I have a small LAN in my office which consists of the following:

Dual 2.0 G5 workstation/fileserver
1.33 Ghz PowerBook workstation
Dell admin computer

I'll probably be adding an iMac sometime in the near future.

I have all connected in a LAN right now via an Asanté FriendlyNet 3004 Router which has served me well over the years. I share a single high-speed internet connection across all the computers.

I find things a bit laggy sometimes when reading and writing files off of the G5 fileserver (folder contents don't update quickly enough, bit of a lag opening files etc.)

Does anyone here think that upgrading my router to a gigabit device will cause a noticeable improvement?

I was just thinking that my laptop and G5 have this unexploited capability that might make a difference.

(Also, would the Dell with its 10/100 connection slow the whole show down)

Thanks for any feedback or advice.......

Scott

Let's put the networking questions in the networking forum.

BTW, whether or not you will see a difference depends entirely on how you are using the network.
