Hardware and Performance / Re: Advice on ditching USB nic or wait for better support
« on: April 09, 2021, 11:29:01 am »Hi Alex,
Your dongle seems restricted by either the USB bus (2.0) or its Ethernet interface (100 Mbps).
My ISP doesn't do the VLAN thing, but you are right in setting the WAN VLAN to 7 and tag the port to your ISP gear.
All VLAN's are completely separate logically but they do of course share the same physical link. Without QoS, traffic on one VLAN can reduce the throughput on another. Given that it is all gigabit, you will have enough capacity at least at most times. It will certainly feel faster than your 90 Mbps dongles.
If congestion does become an issue, you could move the Synology to the busiest VLAN and use its firewall to restrict local access.
Bart...
It's an RTL8153, that's why it has poor performance (FreeBSD 12 / 13 thing...)
I will reorganise my setup and see if I can set it up.
One question: Which Vlan do I need to set up, like initially posted, with Vlan 101...?
I am a bid knew in this field that's why I need to make sure.
Thanks,
Alex
