enerel Posted January 28, 2021 Share #1 Posted January 28, 2021 (edited) Hello everyone i am new user currently just exploring all this NAS thing, Synology is most user-friendly and best software so i thought i should give it a try to my old desktop that i almost throw away. Anyway the Question is: My Ethernet read write speed is only 10MB, my router cable and everything is high speed, i think my old desktop built in enthernet is too old so i decided to plug USB2.0 LAN converter by Lenovo but when i swap the LAN cable to USB converter it could not find on find.synology.com. how to configure it? My PC: P5E3 CPUQ9550, 8GB ram, 16GB SSD(boot), 980GB intel SSD (server model) for data. Loader: DS3615xs 6.1 Jun’s Mod V1.02-alpha DSM: DSM_DS3615xs_15047.pat Edited January 28, 2021 by enerel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
