PCIe NIC Konfiguration und Datenraten
PCIe NIC Konfiguration und Datenraten
Hey everyone, I'm trying to improve my home network for faster NAS performance. I've encountered some problems: I use HomeAssistant to activate the NAS when needed and for backups. Previously, I relied on WoL with the built-in nic on the ASRock Z270M-ITC/ac, but it didn't work. In the BIOS, I found a setting labeled "PCIE Devices Power On," but it didn't respond. My network card is a BrosTrend 2.5GBASE-T, which should support WOL. Any suggestions? For upgrading my Wi-Fi and getting a 2.5Gbit switch, I switched from a Fritzbox 7490 to a 7690. Both my PC and NAS are connected via the 2.5Gbit ports, but when transferring data from PC to NAS, I only get about 1.5Gbit, and the same happens with Wi-Fi from my laptop to the NAS. It's noticeable but not ideal. Testing the pool should handle full 2.5Gbit speeds. When accessing the NAS from both my laptop and PC, I'm limited to around 800 Mbits each. Any ideas? Thanks ahead!
I checked online and confirmed it's a Realtek chipset. Probably the cause of the problem. When I've worked with Realtek NICs before, WOL often didn't behave well—required precise settings, shutdown in a certain way, etc. My fix was always swapping to an Intel-based NIC, which cost more but always functioned. Now WOL appears in the BIOS and everything runs smoothly without adjustments.
Perhaps we need to adjust the approach here. The client side works well at 5900x, while the server side has ample buffer—especially since I’m only processing and receiving about 1.5Gbits.
