Details on how to reproduce this issue can be found in the instructions below. This can be observed while the adapter is under full load during speed testing during the upload process using online speed tests or tools like iPerf. If you accept the potential risks inherent with beta/development software, you can find instructions by clicking the button below.Īdditionally, there are known issues with transmit/upload (TX) data discovered by Plugable and escalated to ASIX.

As always, we recommend full Time Machine backups before proceeding further. hard system crashes) that may be unrecoverable or cause data loss. We do not recommend these steps for most users as there are significant security implementations to disabling SIP and enabling Developer tools for system extensions that can result in system instability and kernel panics (i.e. Update 1-December 8, 2020ĪSIX has provided a beta DEXT driver that is not notarized and signed by Apple which requires various Terminal commands and disabling SIP (System Integrity Protection). Other Ethernet adapters were able to get the expected ~750-950Mbps download/upload speeds on the same Gigabit connection. During testing of AX88179 devices with the beta 2 driver compared to other Gigabit adapters and our own 2.5G Ethernet adapter, we were only able to observe roughly 130-200Mbps downloads and 200Mbps uploads on a Gigabit fiber connection. Unfortunately, there continue to be performance issues with this driver and we still do not recommend these beta drivers for most users. We have not been able to reproduce the issue via multiple speed test platforms, but have not had the opportunity to test full throughput via iPerf. We have performed quick testing against this update to ensure the TX issue has been resolved.
