Help with Switch / Router / NAS please

[rs1800]

Can someone with network expertise please confirm I am doing right thing.

I currently have:

Virgin 50MB modem
D-Link DIR-615 with DD-WRT firmware
NAS Synology DS411J
PC with gigabit connection

All works well apart from transferring files between PC and NAS which is slow (5-6 mb/s shown in win7) which I guess is due ti 100mb limit on DIR-615.

So rather than buy a new expensive router with gigabit my hope is I can just buy a gigabit switch such as a Linksys SE2500 and plug my router into that?

If I plug my pc and nas into new switch will they work at gigabit whilst the modem/router still works at 100mb?

Is this my best bet?

cheers

yep that'll work fine.

as your connection is only 50mb, the 100mb limit from the router wont really make a difference.

then any device connected to the switch can run at gigabit with each other

Perfect.

Does the se2500 look ok? Can't find review yet
