These equipment upgrades are recommended to get the most out of your SIMBA 10Gbps Broadband:
- Ethernet Cables: Use a Cat6 or, preferably, Cat6a or Cat8 Ethernet cable for optimal performance
- Compatible Router: Consider a Wi-Fi 7 router with Multi-Link Operation. Look for a ‘multi-gig’ label on the router box or specific mention of 10Gbps support
- 10Gbps NICs: Your computer needs a built-in Network Interface Cards (NIC) that can handle 10Gbps speeds. In the absence of a built-in 10GbE port, try using a USB-C 10Gbps Ethernet adapter though performance may be slightly lower
- Operating System: Most modern operating systems like Windows 10 (with updates) and macOS Monterey or later should support 10Gbps networking
- Processor: A powerful CPU is recommended for activities that involve heavy data transfer, like large file uploads or running multiple bandwidth-intensive applications simultaneously
- RAM: Having 16GB or more RAM can improve overall system performance and ensure smooth data handling
- Wired connection: Wired LAN provides a faster and more reliable connection compared to a wireless one
