I just bought the Silicon Dust HDHR connect. Since, on the SiliconDust website I don't see a forum for this model and it appears the website and forum have not been updated in years I am going to post my question here. I hope someone can help.
I have this hooked up to my gigabit ethernet in my house. But unfortunately for a new piece of hardware, it only has a 10/100 port. So I think this causes is the entire network to slow down to 100 Mbps. This is unacceptable and very short sighted of Silicon Dust.
My question is... How can I have my tuner on the network as it must be, but have it not slowing down the rest of the network.
The way it is now is I have a gigabit switch that plugs into port 1 of my netgear wndr3800 router and everything hangs off off it. Would it work if I had the hdhr on port 2 of my router and then everything else on the switch on port 1 of my router? I am thinking not because I think it is just a another switch inside the router, so it would still slow down everything. But maybe...
How about a second card in the computer and hook the HDHR to it instead? Can a computer have two speeds of networks inside of it?
Does anyone have any idea how to make this work?
