Well anyway, is there some simple way how to measure packetloss from unmanaged switch to slightly-managed NAS to reliably discover whether it works after it succeeds in negotiating GbE?

Correcting the older slow Ethernet standards:
10 base 2 and 10 base 5: requires 1 wire plus shield (2 conductors, half duplex by definition)
10 base T: requires 2 twisted pairs (4 wires, duplexing by protocol, but 1 rx and 1 tx pair)
Remember that 10baseT also required crossovers to connect two computers together without a hub/switch, granted modern machines did auto II/X negotiation.
Crossover works even now, it should be used between two computers but as most of them can do auto negotiation, it is not needed. But it's safer, auto does not always work.

i have 5 routers running in my house, 1 asus 4x4 1 apple extreme, netgear wnr3400,
dlink( old style) and the apple has a guest network and the asus and the netgear both have 5.0 networks as well
i need help getting all this nonsense working in unison
please advise
I'm assuming (sometimes dangerous) that you want all the machines to be on the same network. If that is the case, it might be a better solution to only have one router assigning the addresses and opt for changing the other routers to act as switches. This would entail turning off DHCP in all the routers except the initial one, at the network source.
