Hi Sanctum, To the best of my knowledge the Qnap should have no adverse effect on your network. I myself run a Linksys wireless router with a mix of ethernet, 802.11b and 802.11g connections (XBOX360, Squeezebox 1, Squeezebox 2, XP laptop and Mac mini). Plus I also have a dynamic DNS address pointed at the Qnap for Qdownload, Qweb, Qmultimedia and FTP. Oh and SlimServer access and I don't have any traffic problems on the network.
Now on my 10Mbit connection ;) I can get anything from between 85kb/sec to 1124kb/sec download speeds - it really depends on the site and the time of day I am using my connection. On a 2Mbit connection I would imagine you could get no more than about 250kb/sec download speed and most of the time it would be around 180kb/sec (or it was when I had a 2Mbit connection). Try out the speed checker on www.adslguide.org.uk and see what results that gives you - remember though you are on a shared line with a 20:1 contention. Please either post here or PM me with your findings.
