TrueNAS doesn't support wifi. even if you can get it to "work", its not going to work well, as there is no support for it. servers belong on a wired connection.Here is what I got with wifi

TrueNAS itself doesn't, but you can use wifi to access the Shares. I do so for my time machine share since we don't have any spare ethernet cables at home.TrueNAS doesn't support wifi. even if you can get it to "work", its not going to work well, as there is no support for it. servers belong on a wired connection.
got you!TrueNAS doesn't support wifi. even if you can get it to "work", its not going to work well, as there is no support for it. servers belong on a wired connection.
You should remove that cache drive a priori. L2ARC demands at least 64GB of RAM.got you!
Is the cache drive necessary? it is running of a pcie-sata card (NAS is headless without GPU), if I can live without the cache drive, I will go and get an intel pcie-ethernet card to make it proper hardware for the setup
do you have any suggestions which one to get? ThanksNo. With SCALE you would be trying to support that L2ARC on only 8GB of ARC, making the ARC crisis on your system worse.
There is no "wrong" Realtek driver, the Realtek silicon - particularly the 8111 - is just an awful product. What you do is get rid of it. Go buy an Intel Desktop CT ethernet adapter -- make sure you get a real one, not a knockoff, should be about $35, plug it in, and then move on with your very much faster and better life. Then never buy another Realtek mainboard.
Is my Realtek ethernet really that bad?
One of the longest running issues faced here in the forums may be people who come to these forums, wanting to recycle an old PC into a NAS. In general, this is a bad idea because typical PC hardware isn't optimized towards the task. However...www.truenas.com
A Pi is unlikely to ever get gigabit ethernet performance. You aren't getting a meaningful test here.

No, it's not normal. I have the same exact motherboard (ROG B550) you have for my PC and my iperf speeds are reaching 900+ Mbps. The fact you're only getting a third of the speed and actually less speed than your WiFi card is puzzling. I suppose the problem then, lies with the NAS.Well, the iperf testing with wired network (1Gbps) on pc only can get about 260-270Mbits/s, while wireless on pc got about 300-400Mbits/s (not wifi 6)
are these speed looking normal?
Thanks a lot! In the UK here. LoL do not have the better supply chain, but do have Mouser here.Yes. Get a genuine "Intel Desktop CT" (Intel EXPI9301CT) ethernet adapter. They usually run about $35. Get it from CDW or Mouser or some other reputable vendor who is tied into the US supply chain. Do not get it from eBay or Amazon or NewEgg, as you stand a much better chance of getting a knockoff product from a back alley in Shenzhen. The return shipping cost and annoyance of having to deal with returning a fake is worth the $35 all on its own. If it is not about $35 there's a good chance it's a knockoff. The pain in your wallet of spending on a legit card will be offset by the joy of problem-free gigabit.
I guess it is my wifi network, the Deco M5 unit has only got 1Gbps ports, if you have got 2.5Gbps connection for your PC, I have got about the same ratio of reduction based on the norminal bandwidthNo, it's not normal.

With 1Gbps you should be getting at least 600Mbps if you are using LAN.I guess it is my wifi network, the Deco M5 unit has only got 1Gbps ports, if you have got 2.5Gbps connection for your PC, I have got about the same ratio of reduction based on the norminal bandwidth
No, I think you misunderstood me. Those 900+ Mbps numbers is with the 2.5 Gbps card operating ONLY at 1Gbps since my switch ports are only 1 Gbps switch. What I'm saying is, you're not even getting anywhere near 1 Gbps speeds. You're getting more like 250-400 Mbps speeds.I guess it is my wifi network, the Deco M5 unit has only got 1Gbps ports, if you have got 2.5Gbps connection for your PC, I have got about the same ratio of reduction based on the norminal bandwidth
I see, so for 1Gbps port, one can get to almost the theoretical values, good to know, I always thought it was about half that you can get.No, I think you misunderstood me.

Yes, this is often the case with WiFi, but with ethernet, you should be getting at least 90%.I see, so for 1Gbps port, one can get to almost the theoretical values, good to know, I always thought it was about half that you can get.
I think it might be limited to my setup at the moment.
Thanks. And thank you all for who has put time and effort reading my problem.Yes, this is often the case with WiFi, but with ethernet, you should be getting at least 90%.
