Raspberry Pi 2 Model B Ethernet Speeds

So on a few different websites i have seen that the speed is 10/100. does that mean 10 down and 100 up or from 10 to 100 down/up? Im new to this stuff so sorry if the answer is stupidly obvius 😛

That is not the up/down speed but the maximum support speed.

so im thinking of using the raspberry as a mediacenter, i have a hdd hooked up to the LAN so i could stream movies and videos from there. Do you recon that could be possible? have a 100 megabits/s down and 20 megabits/s up.

Probably. I haven't looked into myself but it make take some time writing the code to access movies off the LAN.

Hi

Broadband over telephone wire ADSL. Upload speed is slower than download speed

Once you get through modem router to Ethernet the speed is the same in both directions

If both devices are capable of 100 MB/s the connection will be at 100 both ways

10/100 speeds means it can support other devices with any of these speeds

The latest raspberry Pi is more powerful than the earlier versions
If you use the media centre operating system designed for the Pi you should be ok
(Extra cores , speed of CPU ,extra ram)

so the way im doing it now is that i have hooked up an hdd to my router and sharing it throughout the LAN. So all computers can access it, pc and mac. Do you think the raspberry OS also has access to it? and can the raspberry play 4k vids?

 

[SuchJelly]

what about 4k?

 

[dominirican3351]

more than likely it cant play 4k

 

[barto]

I agree. 4k might be out of reach.
