The ethernet port on the Replay is a 100Mbps port (check the
connection LEDs on your hub or switch, many of them show this),
However the software on the Replay is limited to about 10Mbps (it's
usually a lot slower).
Note that wireless adds a significant amount of overhead, limiting you
to about 60% of the stated speed. Range of the wireless devices is
usually much less than advertised too, further limiting speed.
On the Replay, video streaming (to another Replay on your LAN) speed
will be about 240Kbps (for Standard quality, Medium uses twice that,
and High uses thrice that). IVS speed is limited by your internet
connection UPLOAD speed (yours if you're sending, someone else's if
you're receiving). DVArchive can be set to use any speed up to the
maximum (but higher speeds will interfere with local use of that
Replay).
