Problems with Gigabit Ethernet on Vero 4K +

I did some testing with @martini2’s switch on a known good Vero 4K +. After initially connecting, I could only get 40Mbps TX. After changing the power supply he sent with the switch, I managed to get 900Mbps+.

I’ve made a number of changes will improve performance and address some corner cases and these will be available shortly in an update.
To test this update:

  1. Login via the command line
  2. Edit the file /etc/apt/sources.list
  3. Add the following line: deb http://apt.osmc.tv stretch-devel main
  4. Run the following commands to update: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && reboot
  5. Your system should have have received the update.

Please see if the issue is resolved.

I also recommend you edit /etc/apt/sources.list again and remove the line that you added after updating. This will return you to the normal update channel.

There will still be a few units that we will need to replace under warranty however.
