i ordered one USB 2.5 adapters just to try it out and that worked a treat !, so will order another one to get the full effect and link aggregation. thank you so much, have had burst speeds of >260mbps
You're welcome!! Great to hear that you're getting 2.5GbE speeds!! Hopefully you can take advantage of link aggregation with the second USB ethernet adapter!!
Hey, thank you very much for realizing my video suggestion! Much appreciated. Concise and precise. I am currently measuring out my planned server rack. Probably 19" rack. Will have to check how many U's I will need now and in the near future. I plan to integrate a normal Consumer Synology in the rack. Curious how I can do that, so that the NAS is locked in and can not be tipped over or something.
got the second usb in and runs exactly as set out here and have 5gbs link aggregation !!- note when you update to 7.2.2 on synology, you'll lose your bond and will need to run the second sudo package again as the upgrade loses any bonds you have made, and only 1 USB can be seen, its a bit of a fiddle but it works following this guide
Thank you so much for the video. I followed the same steps with DS918+. Everything is working and connected, but my local PC (2.5 Gigabit card) to NAS (USB 2.5 Gbps adapter) file transfer speed is still 26.8 mb/s. I'm getting frustrated trying everything, and nothing has changed. Any help would be appreciated.
You're welcome and thanks for becoming a member!! The set up that your describing sounds like it should work, but I haven't tried it myself. I'll try it over the weekend and will get back to you on what I find.
@@manjitbajwa3572 I had a chance to try the setup you described (In my case a Macbook Pro with a USB 2.5 Gigabit adapter connected directly to my Synology NAS with a USB 2.5 Gigabit adapter as well) and the speeds were what I would expect. My Macbook displays the output in megabytes and I was getting ~290 MB/s transfers. Not exactly sure what may be the issue in your case. Maybe try the same set up with another computer if you can or maybe another cable. Let me know how things go.
Thanks a lot for the tutorial. I followed through to the end. For some reason my NAS will detect either of the two adapters, but not both at the same time. If any one of you has some guidance for me, i'd really appreciate your help. I'm running out of ideas ;-)
Great tutorial for Alpine, Apololake & Armada architecture owners, however older NAS archeticture support (Avoton, Cedarview etc.) hinges entirely on driver support 😢
hello, i ve tried to connect 2 usb 2,5gb and when i write the command to add the second usb it shows me the message "failed to create symbolic link ..... file exist ¿How can i fix it?
I installed one with 8156 chipset on my 1815+ and it works well but when I added another one for the bond it won't recognise it. There are 4 USB port and when I plug a single adapter on each port and STOP/START the driver all ports recognise them but not when I plug 2 of them together and do so, so I don't think it's problem with the ports but is there any limitation ? I did run the second script install-udev-rules as well.
hi... im stuck in ssh after copy+paste the command, it asks for password... what password?? the usual doesnt work! - ok, you have to be signed in as root: 1) enter the password of your DSM/SRM's administrator account. 2) type sudo -i and press Enter. Enter the password of your DSM/SRM's administrator account again, and press Enter. You are now signed in to your DSM/SRM with root privilege 3) now you can paste that command
Not sure how to help with this? The instructions were mainly to get your NAS to recognize the USB Ethernet Adapter. If it does see it correctly then I would double check other things like the ethernet cable you are using or your switch/router. Also, maybe see what happens after a reboot? I've seen reboots fix odd issues like you are having from time to time. Good luck!!
@@Garethbellamy Hi it looks like my 2.5Gbps port is full speed only when it is used as an internet port otherwise it just works as a 1Gbps lan port. My router is a Rax200 which has a 2.5G port labeled as 2.5G/1Gbps. However I did get the Nas to recognise the Network Adaptor thanks to your videos . Much appreciated thanks again
I enjoy the distinctive content you share with your audience. 33 billion likes to you.
Happy to hear that you enjoy the content I'm releasing!! Thanks for the comment (and likes). Much appreciated!!

writing at 1.3 Gbps, reading at 1.84Gbps
prior to this upgrade was getting 0.74 and 0.83

Thanks for the insstruction.
Do we have to start the driver app again after restared the NAS?

@@digital_aloha weird. I'm not sure what is going on. I will let you know when I find the solution.
Great video. Would this work on a high availability Synology set up?
Thanks for the compliment on the video!! I'm not completely sure about your question. How is your high availability Synology set up configured?

Yeah for sure. This won't work for older NAS systems. 🙁

Does this work with 72803 update?

LMK if you find a solution im looking to do the same.

Yeah it should have been the same password as the user that you logged in with. Glad you figured things out.
What a shame taht it doen't work on the DS 423+ atleast not on DSM 7.2.2. Can anybody report the same problem?
I think that I followed the instructions correctly but I only have 1000 Mbps *please someone help*

@@digital_aloha Hi thanks for your advice. I will work on it and let you know what the problem was if I find it.
Thanks again
You of course, have to have 2.5gbe on your router,switch, and of course, the rest of the connected devices such as your pc/mac at 2.5gbe
I know, obvious, and no reflection etc
