Well it’s hard to say. Could be an issue with certain switch/cable combination or something else.
And currently seeing 4-5 reports of issues compared to thousands of boxes delivered I am not sure what to make out of it.
If it’s any help, the whole system became very sluggish via ssh as soon as I mapped the SMB drive - keystrokes delayed on screen, that sort of thing - even though I was not accessing the network share. The GUI interface, however, was fine when going through the settings and options, as long as not browsing the videos.
Even now with the 100Mbit fix or is it now useable?
SSH is fine now once I applied the fix. Will test the video playback shortly.
Video playback also fine at 1080p, don’t have any 4K content handy.
Hi everyone,
I’m looking in to this issue and trying to source a confirmed problematic switch (D-Link brand) from another user.
The issue seems to be isolated to the transmit (TX) side. I suspect a possible hardware timestamping clock issue in the driver. I need to work with a user who is familiar or SSH and try and get the necessary hardware in my hands to reproduce the issue.
Cheers
Sam

Sam, you may have what you need - but I’m using a multitude of different switches, daisy-chained without issue, so let me know if you need me to run any checks on my end, too (for comparison purposes, or… whatever!).
Thanks for the offer. Unfortunately I need to work with someone that has a problem.

Are this results good? (first part), router is Mirkotik hAP ac with Cat6 cables, and Win10 PC

900Mbps is good. The 400Mbps is a bit slower but could be caused by other factors
I will try some combinations with Gigabit Switch (D-Link DSG-1005D) , who report normal green led for gigabit connection, and with other PCs, laptops etc.
Thanks
Thanks for the reply and I have been checking the other threads as well as they all seem similar.
I noted your point about trying to source a Dlink Switch to test. However I still have the same problem when I take my switch out of the equation and wire the Vero direct to router (PC used for my tests wired direct to router anyway).
I did notice some of the other users with network problems have Asus routers.
I have an Asus router also running latest stable Merlin firmware.
Hi @sam_nazarko, my switch is UniFi Switch 24 POE-250W, performance details in this post:
https://discourse.osmc.tv/t/vero-4k-restore-forgets-fstab-mounted-drives/75065/19
Ok surely only a temp fix (also setting would be lost after reboot) but at least we know besides the Ethernet the box is fine.
Are you familiar with SSH?
I have some things you can test.
Sam
I’ve replied to your post and will be looking in to this
Best
Sam
Sure, send them over.
With D-LInk DSG-1005D in chain
