Broken Ethernet Port
Hi, I have a couple of ReadyNAS Duo units, but one of them has had the ethernet port blown after a spike on the incoming broadband line, which also blew the ethernet port in my media player. I thin...
A USB to ethernet adapter would be painfully slow and not worth it. The work required to make this work would be unsupported and would require you to install the drivers for your usb ethernet adapter via SSH, test it works, then migrate the disks back to the NAS with the dead ethernet port and test it, if it doesn't work, migrate the disks back again etc.
It's not worth the effort.
In future I recommend you protect the ethernet ports of your important equipment as we'll as the power.
