Conect SFP+ to RJ45 10GBase-T – Netgear Nighthawk X10

QNAP HS-453DX NAS with my Netgear Nighthawk X10

I’ve seen lots of your YouTube videos and I’m looking at acquiring a QNAP HS-453DX NAS to attach to my Netgear NightHawk R9000 X10 router.

As you know, the NAS has one 10 GbE RJ45 connector and the Nighthawk has a 10 GbE SFP+ LAN connector.

To maximize transfer speed for Plex I’d like to use my router’s SFP+ port to the 10 GbE on the NAS.

What kind of adapter/cable do I need to attach this NAS to my router?

The answer is very simple. You need 10GbE sfp+ adapter. It costs around 100$ but it is fairly straight forward and easy to use. If you need more specs and video guide, I have added some of that bellow.

I hope this helps.
