Console cable recommendations
I posted to wrong forum. I am reposting it here.
I want to buy a serial console cable. I read quite a bit here in the forums and still not sure what I should buy. Can someone give me a clear guide what I should buy and what I should avoid?
I have a 628X and RN104.
I ordered this one from Aliexpress. Will it work?

Thanks in advance!

That one is 3.3V, which I believe is the correct level for your NAS. Some earlier ones use 5V. Netgear has not documented this well. As to how well it will work with the host computer, I can't say, as it notably doesn't mention Windows 10 or 11. But one of the comments does mention a Windows 10 driver that worked.
