SUCCESS: Plugable USBC-E2500 working on DS920+ #73

Open TC72 opened 3 years ago

TC72 commented 3 years ago

I bought 2 of the plugable devices to connect my M1 Mac Mini direct to the Synology NAS without any router. After I installed the driver I had to restart the NAS to see the network interface.

I have it connected to the rear USB port and no issues yet. Transfer speeds have gone from 108/96 to 270/250.

The only slight issue is my Mac isn't allowing me to configure it for jumbo packets. In the Network panel if I try to set it up manually there is no option for 2.5G and the max packet size is limited to 1500.

I tried downloading the Realtek driver from here but it made no difference to the network settings, may be an issue with it being for Intel based computers. The plugable is using the RTL8156 chip.

Thank you so much, huge upgrade in speed for only £60.

Just bought this yesterday and have run a few tests on my DS920+. Connected to back USB. Works well with the latest DSM which as of today is DSM 7.2-64570 Update 1 and latest RTL8152/8153 driver v2.17.1-1.
