How to build a home network for 2Gbps network speed ?

[rickelitep]

Hi ,

On the next week I am able to upgrade my internet package to 2000mbit down / 500mbit up with a new type of cable which called optical(fiber).
I would like to use the highest bandwidth as possible on my PC. I've already read about aggregation technology(LACP) but its for file transport (server,NAS). At least I want to know the right way because my local friends/specialists told me " It will cost more than you ever think" or " No, It's impossible for home using" . Actually everyone told me excuses instead of normal answer.

I am going to buy a new router like ASUS RT-AC5300 or ASUS RT-AC88U (maybe AC87U).

So, the setup will look like this : Telekom(ONT) device - My router (AC5300/88U/87U here I share wifi connection to my devices) and what now ? How to plug this kind of internet speed directly to my PC ? ( The ONT device has 4 - 1Gbps ports) I am not as stupid , I know 2Gbps needs more than 1Gbps port. Not at least I've already learnt CAT types.

I saw 10Gbps network PCIe cards which can hold that speed but all of them has only one port. Some of them have 2 ports but they very expensive.I think about to buy a new 1Gbps pcie network card and I use two cat cables between my router and the pc ,maybe a software can manage the speed(packages) or I don't know.

SHORT VERSION : I want to get almost 2000mbit download and 500mbit upload speed on my PC.
How can i make this to work ?

I am not a network specialist but I did my best to increase my knowledge about this problem.

PC : Asus maximus hero 7,Enermax revolution 1000w 80+,Win10 64bit
Two devices with cable and 10 or sometimes more devices on wifi.

Appreciate any kind of answers.

Bottom line is, you should be upgrading your LAN stuff to 1g anyways, regardless of your ISP offering, this is the standard for the last 8? years, at minimum cost.

Current 1g is like the sound barrier, it doesn't cost much to get there, but I think we got confused that you right off the bat demanded 2g, crossing that barrier currently cost you ALOT more, not only the $7 the carrier is charging you.

So if money no object, go 10! but if you want value like most mortals, stay with 1g, today summer 2018. Five years from now we maybe singing a different story.


USAFRet, am surprised am the one who used the sound barrier analogy.
