I am looking for advice on creating a home network that is extremely energy efficient. This is not for cost purposes, but rahter because I don't like to waste electricity. I hate leaving devices on that I am not using. I will have a wired network with computers scattered around the house. I would love to be able to have a server so that I can sign on at any computer in the house and work.
Do you have any suggestions on ways to hook up the router, switch and PC's (?NAS) that will minimize devices being on when not in use. Is there a home server that can awake on LAN?
I am also looking at setting up a music server that can be accessed from around the house. This is off forum but I am thinking I will have to have some device on all the time and would rather maximize its utility.
Thank you,
Dan
