I just had fiber installed yesterday and got a 3Gbit plan.

The modem provided by the ISP has 1x 10GbE port and 4x gigabit ports.

I got a 10GbE NIC for my Synology NAS, which is installed right beside my modem.

However my PC is sitting at the opposite end of a 30m+ Cat5 run. The silver lining is there’s a pair of them.

Can I bond them somehow to make them a single 5GbE port?I haven’t bought a switch or router yet.

Considering the Mikrotik crs317-1g-16s+: https://www.ispsupplies.ca/MikroTik-RouterBOARD-CRS317-1G-16SRM

    Most ppl might even have spinning drives, they can do ~100 Mbyte/s…
    Some have upgraded to SSD, that can do up to ~500 Mbyte/s.
    And a few have upgraded to NVME, most are in the range of 1000-2500 Mbytes/s

    All these numbers are for fresh new drives.

    3 Gigabit = 375 MBytes/s. Yes I can do the math!
