RBK853 No Upload Speed when Using Thunderbolt 3 10Gbe Network Adapter
I have a Thunderbolt 3 to 10Gbe adapter that I've been using on my desktop for almost a year (internal use to get faster transfer speeds.) It connects to a Netgear 10Gb switch, which is then connecte...
Issue resolved! After days of troubleshooting, I was finally able to resovle my own issue.
I'll post the resolution in case anyone has this problem down the road when they search Google :-)
So the Thunderbolt 3 10Gbe adapter uses a NIC card by the manufacture Aquantia AQtion. The driver version I had installed was 2.1.18. I have no idea why my Netgear Orbi stopped working at full upload speed. I downgraded to 2.1.17 and still no luck. I found someone on Reddit mention they downgraded all the way to 2.1.12 and IT WORKS! I'm now getting my full 950Mbps down / 950Mbps up. All because of a driver! What's strange if I used any other router, it worked fine. I don't quite understand why the driver made a difference so it would work properly with the Netgear Orbi router.... but I'm just happy I can move on.

Hmm All my 1Gb USB3 to LAN adapters work fine with my RBR with v3.2.11.2. I see your is a 10Gb adapter? You might try a 1Gb. At some point you'll want to update FW on the RBR and will want the RBR to work with an adapter. Having a 10Gb adater may be the problem on new FW. Odd that it works on old FW and not new. Something changed in FW I guess.
