![]() ![]() The bidirectional test shows some TCP retransmissions, but still manages to reach a respectable throughput for a USB adapter. Iperf3 results (10 GB transfer): unidirectional, bidirectional. Unfortunately DSM does not come with iperf3, so no raw network throughput benchmark. This is all with spinning disks, there's no SSD cache installed in my DiskStation. Here is a very scientific file copy test, and some Crystal Disk Mark results (getting near the theoretical maximum throughput of 2.5 Gbps Ethernet). I'm now consistently hitting speeds of more than 250 MBps (~2000 Mbps) with SMB file transfers, gigabit was always pinned at ~110 MBps. Also note that you'll have to repeat this process with every upgrade of the DSM kernel (not often, but can be annoying).Īfter installing the driver and activating the adapter you can configure/monitor it through DSM like any other Ethernet interface. ![]() Unfortunately Synology does not include this driver with DSM, if you want to try this you'll have to download the sources from Realtek and cross-compile a kernel module for your particular DSM build/architecture. These particular adapters are based around a Realtek chipset and supported by a very common driver (r8152). ![]() They can also reach their full potential on a USB 3.0 connection, wheres higher speed networking adapters tend to require PCI-express or Thunderbolt connectivity (which is not available on your average Synology). The adapter works with Windows, Mac, Linux and Microsoft Server operating systems.I purchased two 2.5 Gbps USB Ethernet adapters, with the idea of setting up a peer-to-peer connection between my desktop and a DS918+ for multi-gigabit file transfers.Ģ.5 Gbps Ethernet adapters are relatively affordable and work fine with basic CAT5e cabling. A blue LED indicates successful Ethernet connection and data transfer. The direct fiber connection minimizes the risk of data leaks and electromagnetic interference (EMI). The compact USB to Ethernet adapter supports full 1 Gbps network speeds and USB 3.0 speeds, allowing you to transfer data efficiently and stream audio and video. Just connect the built-in USB cable to your device's USB port (which also powers the adapter), and connect the LC duplex port to a high-speed managed switch, router or hub using existing or newly run multimode fiber cable (such as Tripp Lite's N820-Series, sold separately).ĭelivers Full Gigabit Ethernet Performance with Audio and Video Streaming ![]() This USB 3.0 Multimode Fiber Optic Transceiver Ethernet adapter is fully hot-swappable, so you can install it without a potentially costly network shutdown or device reboot. Hot-Swappable for Installation Without Network Interruption It transmits data up to 550 meters (1804 feet) from your fiber network using a wavelength of 1310nm. The adapter offers access to a Gigabit Ethernet network when Wi-Fi is unavailable or when a wired connection offers faster speeds. This USB to LC fiber optic Ethernet adapter allows you to instantly connect your computer, laptop, tablet or other USB-compatible device to a wired 10/100/1000 Mbps fiber optic network, even if your device has no NIC (Network Interface Controller) installed.
