Combination regarding USB->LAN Adapter.

Regex

Hello Fellas.

Im considering to change my Home Sophos Device to a stronger machine. So ive got used laptop which has only one ethernet port. I was thinking to add another via USB.

I've found  StarTech USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet adapter (USB31000S) which supports:  IEEE 802.1q, IEEE 802.3u, IEEE 802.3az, IEEE 802.3ab, IEEE 802.3i. The question is, is this gonna work? If sophos reconized that USB adapter, If Vlans will work etc. Does someone of you have made such combination ?:)

 

Ive also found: https://ideas.sophos.com/forums/17359-utm-formerly-asg-feature-requests/suggestions/3752786-networking-usb-3-0-network-adapter-support

thx for help ;)

    Hi,

    I found my USB -> NIC and my test XG has a USB port, so the fun begins.

    Hi,

    test progress report.

    Connected a TP-Link USB3 - NIC under MR9 and MR10 and the devices not recognised. Next step is to review the BIOS settings butt hat should nt be needed because MR-9 was installed from a USB DVD drive.

    Hi,

    update.

    I have been using a TP-Link UE300 for testing.

    I tried with v17.5.9, V17.5.10 and V18.0.0 SR-2 and all failed to identify the USB device. Multiple restarts were tried.

    Now somewhere around my home I have another USB-NIC but not sure where because none of my current devices require this type of connection.

    So at this stage I would declare a failure.
