I use D-Link hardware only. The NICs are all realtek I believe because I think that is the only brand Gigabyte uses. I’ll have to check the drivers and see if they have updates.
All my recordings are in original format and recorded at best. A 1 hour recording is almost as big as some full length BluRay movies.
Codecs are all the standard MC7 codecs as far as I know unless VLC over wrote them.
I’ll be working on removing daisy chained switches this winter and running 3 cat6 lines to each jack for a direct route to my big switch.
