Consumer networking gear native/fallback 5gbps support

[guest_999]

You can order wavlink 5gbps one on sunsky for around 2.2k.
And a non branded one few hundreds cheaper.

Not much point as majority of consumer networking gear support 1/2.5/10gbps with rarely native/fallback 5gbps support.

Ordered this last time it was suggested. Would not recommend. Intermittently disconnected from network when transferring large files (~500GB+). Ended up returning.

You mean transferring single files of 400-500GB+ or multiple files with total size 500GB+?

- I'm using the wavlink 2.5G. It's unreliable.
- Generic ones aren't worth the hassle imo. I'm looking for anything built around Realtek RTL8156 controller, due to easy availability of drivers across linux subsystems.

- For large transfer containing multiple files whose total capacity exceed 500GB, it'll run fine for few minutes and then disconnect.
- Turns out it's a common issue.

Now I see, I thought you were talking about typical use case scenario but you were talking about synology devices. Any synology model with RTD1296 SoC won't work with Realtek 8156 controller/any 2.5gpbs/5gbps usb nic.

eh, that is an edge case using third party side-loaded drivers.
The Wavlink 2.5 gbe works fine on Windows at least.. I have a couple of them and large file transfers work fine. Maybe you got a lemon.
