hello,
I try to update my network in order to get a Gigabit connection between “MyCloud” and PC.
Unfortunatly, whatever the Gigabit switch I test, I never succed to establish a communication at speep higher than 10Mb.
If I try a direct connection between PC and “MyCloud”, it run fine
Connection by mean of my old 100M switch ran at 100M half duplex.
Obviously I already try to replace the ethernet cable by a Cat7 one.
I saw in some post a possible solution by reconfiguration of the “MyCloud” ethernet port.
I try it with “ethtool -s eth0 speed 1000 duplex full autoneg off” but the result was 100M full and a poor performance, instead of 1000M .
my network configuration is the following:
switch Netgear GS108Ev3 a previous one from TP-LINK(TL-SG1005) did not ran at all
- Box currently 100M
- PC 1 currently 1000M
- PC 2 currently 1000M
- “MyCloud” currenly 10M 
“MyCloud” firmware is: v04.05.00-315
Does someone have an idea
regards
Sounds like bad hardware, if you My Cloud wouldn’t auto-neg to TWO different kinds of switches…
Those kinds of suggestions are dangerous… Did the post you read that from also tell you that you MUST, WITHOUT OPTION, configure the same parameter on the switch? Probably not, in which case your switch would default to HALF-DUPLEX, and cause performance issues.
Thank you for your answer.
Yes they did, and I known that.
What I do not understand is, while I set “MyCloud” to 1000BaseT when I see his configuration with ethtool it answer the current configuration is speed=100
I’m guessing you must have a Gen1 cloud (firmware 4.x) – as on the Gen2 that I have, the interface is named egiga0 instead of eth0.
Post the full output of
ethtool eth0
thank you for your answer
yes “MyCloud” firmware is: v04.05.00-315.unfortunatly your suggestion is not the good one:
ethtool egiga0
Settings for egiga0:
Cannot get device settings: No such device
Cannot get wake-on-lan settings: No such device
Cannot get message level: No such device
Cannot get link status: No such device
No data available
without any configuration “ethtool eth0” send back:

were you can see “MyCloud” advertise for all mode including 1000baseT/Full but finely communicate at 10M rate.
after configuration to 1000baseT/Full mode:
Settings for eth0:
Supported ports: [ TP MII ]
Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full
1000baseT/Half 1000baseT/Full

You can see “MyCloud” took configution into account(Advertised link modes: 1000baseT/Full), but not execute it(Speed: 100Mb/s)
