TerraMaster Official Forum

TerraMaster has recently launched a USB 2.5G network adapter, which is connected to the USB 3.0 host interface of your TNAS to increase the bandwidth to 2.5Gbps. It is available for sale now.

Applicable models
x.86 series models: F2-220/F2-221/F4-220/F4-221/F4-420/F5-221/F5-421
ARM series models: F2-211/F4-211/U4-211

TOS requrement: 4.2.18 or later versions

Note: Because 220 series and 420 series TNAS have both USB 2.0 host and USB 3.0 host, if you are using 220 series and 420 series TNAS, please be sure to connect the network adapter to the USB 3.0 host port, otherwise, the network bandwidth will be limited.

What chip does this USB LAN adapter use?

Shipping costs to the UK exceed the price of the item making this adaptor way too expensive (£70). I don't think that someone would be interested in buying it.

This person mentioned their CLUB3D adapter worked previously, which is RealTek based: viewtopic.php?f=12&t=1977

The Terra-Master branded one is most likely RTL8156B based.

according to tech support it will be available to purchase from Amazon UK in the next 2 weeks once a batch has been shipped from China.

Will this work with the 210 series? i would have to update my network in the computer and get a new switch, but it may be worth it.,

Yes, it fits all TNAS models

cheers, may be worth thinking about at some point, certainly if I change the computer to a Mac, I have just realised that I will need two 2.5Gb/s switches unless i can change the network around, we will see.

I would appreciate a Terra-Master Support person response to this question. Your customers deserve to know basic information to make informed decisions.

I have 3 Fx-210's that says that statement is incorrect.
It has the Realtek chip.
