What's the maximum LAN speed with the Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter on my MacBook Pro?

While I was at Yodobashi Camera yesterday, I got a Thunderbolt to Gigabit ethernet adapter for my MacBook Pro. I figure, since I'm paying for the high speed fiber optic (Sony Nuro), why limit my self to wi-fi speeds at home?
Before connecting the adapter, via wi-fi it the speed was 143.8 Mbps down and 181.5 Mbps up.
After connecting the adapter and making a direct LAN connection to the router, the speed is 783.2 Mbps down and 940.1 Mbps up.
I'm certainly happy with the speed, but since Sony Nuro is supposed to be 2 Gbps down and 1 Gbps up I was wondering what the maximum possible is with this computer and adapter. Before asking the provider I was curious what the maximum specs where.
The ether cable is a 3 m category 6.
Thanks,
doug

It's not really your computer that is getting the 2Gbps download - it is the router/ modem.
If you hooked better/ different hardware up you could probably push those speeds around your network too. The trouble is that most residential hardware is gigabit ethernet not fibre. Fibre cards & cable are expensive in comparison.
The existing hardware may allow you to 'bond or aggregate' multiple ethernet connections into one link to get more speed over ethernet. Obviously this requires more complex routers, switches & a network admin to set it up
Those speeds sound nice, this bottleneck will mean that other devices on you network can't choke up the whole connection & make other users sad.

Can the Gigabit Ethernet LAN Port be used with a Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet adaptor and then to a Thunderbolt Hard Drive as a back up drive?

Can the Gigabit Ethernet LAN Port be used with a Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet adaptor and then to a Thunderbolt Hard Drive as a back up drive?

If you use ethernet to connect the two AirPort Extremes together, you'll have Gigabit speeds available at all of the ethernet ports on both routers.
If you connect the second AirPort Extreme using wireless only and configure the Extreme to "extend a wireless network", then the maximum speeds that the second router can attain will be limited to the capability of the wireless connection. So, if you connect at normal "n" wireless speeds of say 130 Mbps, that will be the maximum speed available at the ethernet ports on the second AirPort Extreme.
I think you can easily see the difference between Gigabit ethernet, which is 1000 Mbps compared to "n" wireless at 130 Mbps. Even if you can manage to connect at 5 GHz speeds for wireless, the max speed will be in the 300 Mbps range, more than 3 times slower than Gigabit ethernet. Normal "n" speeds will be about 7 times slower than ethernet.
For streaming high definition video and other demanding sources, you'll need as much bandwidth (speed) as you can get. Ethernet is always the best choice if you can possibly use it. And...there's no wireless interference on an ethernet connection.

Registering thunderbolt to gigabit ethernet adapter MAC-adress in the company LAN

Dear community,
I have a technical question regarding the thunderbolt to gigabit ethernet adapter!
In our company the current situation is to register the MAC-Address of every ethernet port which wants to join the local area network...so far so "normal"
The fact that the Apple notebooks have no longer an built-in ethernet port makes it complicated regarding security standards!
Is it correct that when I register the MAC-Address of an ethernet adapter to our company LAN I'm free to plugin every MacBook via Thunderbolt afterwards? There's is no "connection" between the adapter and a certain MacBook?
That doesn't sound very secure...
Can someone answer my question or does anyone have the same problem and found a workaround?
Thanks in advance,
Dennis

In OS X Yosemite, is there option to enable 802.3ad (aka LACP) to bond the interfaces?
Or is it only achievable via command line configuration?
Yes it is exactly the same process as Mavericks (and earlier). You open System Preferences, click on Network, then at the bottom click on the small gear symbol (unlock the padlock first if needed), and then select Manage Virtual Interfaces. You then add a new Link Aggregate interface which will be your bonded network interfaces.
LACP is the only type of bonding Apple support.

HT5219 My Macbook Air (Late 2010) Will not let me install Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet adapter software. It says "This software is not supported on your system." What can I do to stop this and install the adapter software?

Help me

"This software is not supported on YOUR SYSTEM" seems to be a recurring theme in Apple Support site offerings for MacBook Pros and I suspect that Apple didn't really work this issue thoroughly enough to make their hardware updates viable.
You are not alone, Raigbow. Many MacBook Pro users are finding the Apple Support update packages are not doing what their support instructions indicate should be happening.
I believe this is a bigger issue of Apple not thinking of previously sold units as worthy of solid support. After the one year warranty, unless you buy more warranty - and I have - the half-hearted but very thorough documentation of non-working "fixes" shows they aren't all that concerned with your happiness as a user.... Only as a potential buyer of the next Apple showcase item.
After that, they will be on to the next big thing. Kind of like the Japanese model, in which old things are discarded.
But save your work, your data, as the only fix the manufacturer will offer is to wipe your drive and reinstall the original software.
Or use the iCloud to save everything you do and value, since the device you use to access it is short-term.. Don't get too attached to your MAC, because it is terminal in nature.

Maximum upload of 100MB/s on Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter

I recently got a new Macbook Pro and also switched internet providers to get a 500/500 fiber optics connection.
When I connect via wifi I reach speeds like 350 MB/s down and 250 MB/s up.
When I do the same test via the thunderbolt cable I get 498 MB/s down and 100 MB/s up.
Every time I do this, the upload speed is always 'capped' at 100 MB/s. (And download always peaks near the 500 limit)
Variables:
Testing is done via speedtest.net.
Wifi is connected to Airport Time Capsule.
Time Capsule is connected directly to the Gigabit router.
When testing with the ethernet adapter I also test directly into the router.
Any ideas why this is happening?

I read that the ethernet cable could be the culprit.
I did a full range of tests with different brands, shielded/non-shielded and all the different categories I had in a closet, all had the same results.
Full 500MB/s bandwith during download, maximum of 100 MB/s during upload.

Add the Kanex USB-C to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter to your Mac Accessories assortment

Best Buy should get the Kanex USB-C to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter (MFR # KU3CGBT) into its stores as soon as possible. Here are some arguments FOR this: (1) Demand for the new MacBooks is at an all-time high. A check for availability of these are various Best Buy stores shows them unavilable with extended backorder times. I know from people that work at Best Buy that as soon as stores are receiving these they're selling either by online purchase or in-store pickup. (2) Apple does not make a competiting adapter and the price ($29.99) of this adapter is in-line with other third-party (Belkin, Insignia) adapters. (3) It is an essential adapter for business custmoers and students alike. My local store is located near a University and I can tell you that they do not allow students to have ANY wireless devices enabled in on-campus housing. This means that the Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter and this adapter are both going to be in VERY high demand. Judging from last year, you could not find a Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter within a 150-mile radius of where I live because neither Best Buy or Apple Store was prepared for the increase in demand on this SKU and were both consequently sold out. (4) Kanex accessories generally have 4-5 star reviews which shows they are of sufficient quality and are well-received by customers. (5) You will see USB-C showing up in other non-Apple devices like Chromebooks and PCs as adoption picks up later on this year and next year (example: Google's new flagship Chromebook, the Pixel, is already supporting it so I don't anticipate other OEMs being far behind on adding it to their newer models too).

This product is currently available on BestBuy.com, but I can certainly see where carrying a product like this in our stores would have advantages. Who else would like to see us carry the Kanex adapter in our stores?

Whats the maximum achievable speed of data transfer from RT to host PC

Hi
Anybody can tell me whats the maximum achievable speed of data transfer from RT to host PC, in case of both PXI and CompacRIO.
Regards
Visuman

Hi visuman,
To be honest, the dataspeed is dependent on how you architect the code, and the data communication channels that you use.
There are many factors that influence the maximum transfer rate, including network topology, types of interface used, OS, ambient network traffic etc.
You can control two things, packet size, and amount of sleep time between transmissions.
By altering the delay between consecutive TCP/IP transmissions and by varying the packet sizes sent from the embedded side to the host side, you can obtain a clear picture of network characteristics between the two devices. The end result is a report of the optimal TCP/IP configuration, that is packet size and sleep time.
Check out : Developer Zone : Measuring the Maximum Amount of Data Sent Out of a Real-Time Target Device
Here are some other links that maybe useful for you.

Hi,
I guess that 8 or max 12GB. It depends how many slots. It should support 12GB with 2 memory slots but only 8GB with a single one. The CPU itself supports up to 16GB.

When you buy an iPhone in the U.S. it's locked to that country with the carrier you bought it for.
If you bought the device unlocked in the U.S. it's unlocked, you can use it on any carrier. Even one's outside the country.
If you want to do a repair on a device you bought in the U.S. and your using it in another country, you must send it back to the U.S. Why? That's where you bought it from.
AppleCare Protection Plans and AppleCare Limited Warranties are registered to your hardware.
Your hardware is your iPhone.
Wherever hardware that was bought then that's the country it was designed to be used in and that's where it was manufactured.
Apple is very localized - if you call U.S. tech support, you'll speak to somone in your country.
So, what does all this mean?
In order to do a repair, you need to send it back to the country you got it from.
And we're all customers like you. We understand that you're upset, but Apple isn't gonna bend the rules to one individual.
Policy is policy. Get over it.

We just added a new iPad Air to our family of 4 apple devices and I can not get it to join the automatic Photo Share with the other 3 devices. What have I overlooked in set up?

I added an iPad Air to our family of Apple devices a few weeks back and can not get it to participate in the auto Photo Share with the other 3 devices. My Mac, iPhone and first generation iPad share but the new device does not. ITunes sees all 4 devices but I can not get the new iPad and other 3 to share.
Any ideas what I may have overlooked in setup? Thanks!

What 22" external display will work with the new, late 2008, macbook

I, like many others, have problems with my external display. My problem is the one second screen blackout that happens intermittently, more so when I am scrolling around a web site. The other problem being that the pictures are elongated sideways, i.e. a ball looks oval. I have the 2.4 aluminum macbook and a Samsung SyncMaster 2253bw external monitor. (I can get the monitor to stop blacking out by setting it at a lower resolution, but this does not solve the oval ball effect)
We are all waiting for a hoped for firmware fix for this, without any official word that apple is indeed working on one. My question is this, and its for folk who are thinking about buying an external monitor - Who has had a good result with a 22/24 inch monitor with the new macbook, and what was the monitor?

Thanks hsurfer. The link you have provided gives a helpful insight. Those with the macbook pro are able to switch from their 9400 graphics card to the better 9600 graphics card, which resolves the issue, at least with the samsung monitor. We who have the macbook however do not have the option. The problem does seem to clearly emanate from the macbook graphic card, lets hope that a fix is still around the corner, the latest firmware update clearly did not resolve it.
Im still looking for success stories, anyone who can say that their specific external 22'/24' monitor works fine with the new macbook?
kind regards
allan

Open the Time Machine pane in System Preferences. If it shows that Time Machine is ON, click the padlock icon in the lower left corner, if necessary, to unlock it. Scroll to the bottom of the list of backup drives and click Add or Remove Backup Disk. Remove all the disks, then add them back. Quit System Preferences. Test.
