GB QUAD GBLAN USB Adaptor now available.

[marty]

can you use both the ethernet and usblan adpater together?

Dunno, too much hassle to sort a cable out

 

[Rob van der Does]

I'm sure you can. The same applies to LAN + WLAN.

Gosh - same speed as the other LAN7500 adapters without Gigablue written on them :-D

Just a reminder that in my tests the usb3 ASIX chipset was a tad faster and didn't try to act as a third radiator for my lounge.

However free is good

hi
if you haven't sorted it out already
goto plugins
press green button / download plugins
second down drivers
network-usb-rt75xx
restaert box and you will have another network in network setting

I would be more impressed if it worked
VIX doesn't seem to detect mine (pretty sure a driver issue)
On my PC it gets detected as a "LAN7500"
Here a screenshot of its performance (500mb test file)

The little book that comes with shows it working on OpenMips.
I "think" we need "smsc7500.ko" ?

I have Linux stuff here (that I don't quite understand ) if someone wants a go at a driver?

Are the speeds with the usb adaptor showing up much better than 100mb onboard or are they near normal onboard gigabit.

As my serial number is not included in the numbers that are promoted to receive a free adapter i was looking for some cheap solution, i've found on aliexpress a product that are very similar with the adapter that gigablue is sending, even the box is the same. I will buy one to test.

You don't need to test anything or buy from exotic sellers. I bought two different adapters and published the result on this board months ago.

There are three common chipsets:

SMSC LAN7500 (USB2)
ASIX AX88178 (USB2)
ASIX AX88179 (USB3)

In general the read speeds are good for all at 30-33 mB/s (280 mbit/s), whereas only the ASIX88179 offered similarly consistently high write speeds. The LAN7500 chipset was about 20% slower when writing and got very hot in use.

These read speeds equate to ~ 3x the built-in port speed and about 40% of the speed of 'proper' gigabit.

Gigablue are giving away units based on SMSC LAN7500.

An equivalent LAN7500 device would be the Digitus Dn10150 device, an example of an AX88179 device would be the Digitus DN3023 device. I bought one of each of these for £15 each from amazon.

I hope that is comprehensive

One rider I will add is that the latest VIX 715 build doesn't seem to work with the ASIX AX88179 driver plugin.

[Edit] Actually ignore the above. It is working fine

Mine was't either but an email and adapter is here. Though I was surprised as bought box when it first came out so expected it yo be 108 and not 109 as it is.

I sent my email on 1/8 to the email on the first page and I have still not heard anything or received anything. Should I have registered somewhere else??

Hi,
I was the same - mailed about two weeks ago, sent a follow up last week, but heard nothing at all between then and this morning. Received mail at 9am today stating despatch happened today - tracking number included.

No harm I suppose in a friendly follow up mail but I'd say you are on the list.

Hi,

Just bought my Quad and saw this thread regarding the adaptor. I sent an email on Thursday 12th September, quoted my serial number which starts with YAD121 and received my adaptor in the post today!
