On Amazon users saying that this adapter is getting hot? True?

[phires]

I'm running it in my basement, where it is not warm at all. The adapter is pretty cold, not even hand-warm. But - and I'm not yet sure, if it is my cable installation or the adapter - I'm only getting about 1.4 Gbps with iperf3:

I will investigate further.

Mmm ... the speed should be higher ...

[bb-qq]

From looking at the iperf results, it appears that a lot of retransmissions are occurring. (see the Retr column in the results).

It could be a MTU configuration issue or a physical layer issue such as a cable.

[phires]

Yes, my cabeling is sub-par. Won't be able to change anything about this currently. But the adapter is still working well.

I had to put 2.5gb USB NIC to the front USB port of my DS716+II.
