The 221 series has been upgraded to a new generation

network interface showed connections are, top port as LAN 2,..... bottom port as LAN 1 ...

My -424 has the same arrangement which confused me at first Maybe the ports should be labelled.

Yes, the box should have an illustration page for describing the unit designated ports with details.

During my troubleshooting to do re-initialization from JBOD to Single RAID, the P2P online support did request specifically connecting PC ONLY to the top ethernet port for accessing Tnas.

TMzether, indeed, it worked. Thank you.

Files transfer max speed is 282MB/s (pc 2.5Gbe to Tnas 2.5Gbe). It was 111MB/s with 1Gbe switch.

Critical info: Only the F2-223 top ethernet port works, with PC detection of Tnas, but NOT the lower port. (Only one cable was connected)

General info: Still can activate TOS 5 but network interface showed connections are, top port as LAN 2 (with PC), bottom port as LAN 1 (with switch).

A good lesson learned. Thank you TerraMaster......

Glad to hear it worked out! That 2.5GbE speed boost makes a big difference. Interesting note about the F2-223’s Ethernet ports—good to know only the top one works for direct PC detection. Always great learning from these setups. Thanks for sharing your experience!

You are always welcome. A bit of efforts and time wanting to enhance the TOS system and experience, so others can benefit.

After updating to TOS 6, sad to experiencing that I lost the 2.5GBe files transfer speed between 223 NAS and PC (main board came with 2.5GBe port). Current is max at 115MB/s using the 2.5GBe adapter through the 1GBe 8 ports switch. Reserving the existing PC 2.5GBe port for troubleshooting, it worked before. (Thinking of buying the TP-Link Router wifi 7 with 5port 2.5GBe so saving money to buy a 2.5GBe switch. By worrying the new router cannot mesh with my 5 pcs of Huawei Wifi 6+ which work well in my 330M2 home.)

223 NAS has been set with SMB multi-channel enable, and PC activated high version of SMB functionality (and deactivated legacy SMB). But still didn't work, always 115MBps at this PC 2.5GBe port.

Anyway, wishing you happy NASing....
