Windows PC Multiple Ethernet Connections to NAS via Switch

by definetlymaybee41 . Updated 4 years, 8 months ago

I am looking for advice (i am a novice).

I have Windows 10 PC which comes with 2 ethernet ports.
I also have Synology NAS with 2 ethernet ports in which i have set them up for loadbalancing.
Everything is connected to a switch and the switch has a connection to a router.

My transfer rates for files is very slow and all cables at CAT6.

With loadbalancing setup on the NAS, is there anything i can do at the PC or Switch to combine connections that may improve my connection speeds.

I have setup static addresses on both of my PC NIC cards.

All traffic appears to be going through 1 NIC and getting a transfer speed on the PC of 950Mbps which i think is fine.

However, i was hoping to double this using the second NIC, can i not get that NIC to pass over the same data? Data is being transferred to the NAS with the Loadbalancing on the NAS end should handle it. The switch is a 1Gb swich.

Looking for any pointers

Regards

Paul
