Hello, i have installed on nand memory CoreELEC 9.2.1, i connect USB 3.0 gigabit LANadapter RTL8153B and i have very slow download 1-14MB/s unstable , and dropped packets, but upload is fine 23MB/s and stable no drop packed. Connetion is gigabit.

How Enable Flow Control ? “rx-checksumming: off [fixed]”

Adapter is fine, work on laptop in USB 2.0, speeds ar 30 download and 30MB/s upload, me network, router, cable ar fine, i’m instal older wersion LibreELEC and that same bad slow download transfer. Me BOX TV is X96 on S905X no USB 3.0, WiFi and LAN 100M work fine, max speeds ar 11MB/s.

I tested ipref, and copy file.

Maybe wrong driver ? USB ADAPTER is RTL8153B , and driver RTL8152

It’s show in router gigabit connection but :

This doesn’t work?

ethtool -K eth1 rx on tx on

3

“Cannot change rx-checksumming
Could not change any device features”

hmmm i try add “ethtool -K eth1 rx on tx on” to autostart.sh but nothing happen. all time “rx-checksumming: off [Fixed]”

4

What’s the results for

ethtool -k eth1

“Operation not supported” messages indicates that your ethernet device does not seem to support the command.

You need to upgrade the driver I imagine.

how do that ?? im poor in linux ;/

Maybe update driver in CoreELEC 9.2.2 ??

8

I hope that too for TP-Link UE300 / UE330 (based on Realtek RTL8153)

It’s WORK ! Big thanks to @TheCoolest !!!

The new driver was pushed, and should be available in the next nightly build for both amlogic and amlogic-ng builds.
