I will be putting together my NAS once I return home from my current deployment soon (military).
The machine will be comprised of the following:
HP z220 SFF w/ i5-3470 3.2GHz
8GB ram
WD RED 6TB HDD (plan on adding a second in the near future)
I will have it connected via Gigabit Ethernet port to my home network.
I plan on primarily using it for home media, with the intentions of running a plex server and delivering 4K video files to players throughout the house (nvidia shield).
My current wireless router is very old, and there are several dead spots throughout my home. I will be needing to replace this.
My question is this....
How fast does my home network need to be in order to deliver such huge files (50-60 GB files) via WiFi?
Is AC2200 going to be fast enough? (ex. NETGEAR Orbi Whole Home Mesh WiFi AC2200)
Or will I need something faster such as AC3000? (ex. NETGEAR Orbi Whole Home Mesh WiFi (RBK50))
Thanks in advance for the replies!
