Gigabit upgrade in progress… my FIOS router is 10/100… does it matter?

by _kirkpatrick . Updated 15 years, 3 months ago

I have verizon FIOS and the router is currently only 10/100. I have a 16 port switch running off that and an 8 port switch hanging off the 16. I am considering upgrading everything to be Gigabit to take advantage of faster internal speeds (I have a NAS that’s gigabit capable).

I called Verizon and they don’t have a gigabit version of my router just yet. My question: Does it matter if I’m looking to simply upgrade internal speeds or will my network be slow since the Verizon equip. acts as my DHCP and primary DNS resources.
