Or the other option could be to use a USB to RJ45 adaptor instead of the onboard NIC?
Gross. Have you used any USB<->Ethernet adapters lately? I have, and they are horrible.
Hi Tim.
Nope not had any need to yet.
Why are they gross then?
"Gross", as in:
-High latency -Poor throughput -Random link connects/disconnects -Random traffic slowdowns
In general, they fit the bill for 'ease of installation', but miss the mark on everything else a NIC should be.
Maybe I got a bad batch, but I've tried 4 or 5 different models, all the same results.
