Let me get this straight. Your 2 scenario's are something like this? NAS > Gigabit Ethernet > Gigabit Switch > Gigabit Ethernet > Client PC w/ Gigabit NIC NAS > Firewire 800 > Server PC via Firewire port > Gigabit Ethernet > Gigabit Switch > Gigabit Ethernet > Client PC w/ Gigabit NIC Well In...

These little baby's work fine for me. Pretty short. http://www.hdimage.org/images/580p90g0m0y7knlh4xog_9989.jpg

The difference between SMB transfers and FTP shouldn't be that drastically different. Thats an interesting issue.

This would be a much better idea: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833315041

Both will be run in bridge mode, meaning neither will be doing anything other then bridging coax to cat5. You will have all 4 10/100 ports open on each to do what you want with them. Your main router will plug into the Ethernet WAN port on the one actiontec. BTW, if you have any specific...

My post from another MoCA related thread, might be helpful:

I have FiOS, so I am using a MoCA enabled Actiontec MI424WR. All I had to do to extend my network was buy a few more Actiontec MI424WR's ($25 on Ebay) and run them in MoCA bridge mode. Instant wired network with my existing RG6 coax. Running iperf shows a constant 100Mbp/s (12MB/s) transfer...

The WAN port on your router is 100Mbit so.... Can't hurt to try it out.

With bandwidth like that, I would want some overhead, and since most routers only have 100Mbps WAN ports, I would want one with a Gigabit WAN port. All of the routers here have Gigabit WAN ports, aswell as at least a 4 port Gigabit LAN switch. I would probably get the D-Link DGL-4500 if it was me.
