Trendnet usb 3 ethernet adapter

[medway]

Hi I have a Trendnet TU3-ETG USB Gigabit ethernet adapter that I'd like to use on my Motioneye OS Raspberry Pi 3-B.

It would seem that we could at least double the network speed using these devices - https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blogs/jeff-geerling/getting-gigabit-networking

I appreciate that the Pi might end up being a bottle neck but I'd really like to get this working as I've already found that moving everything from wireless to gigabit network markedly improves the streaming/capture frame rate for my 3 wansview cameras.

I have plugged the usb device in and I believe that it is recognised by Motioneye OS

So I'm wondering if it would be possible to have an option to configure eth1 within Motioneye OS or is there already a configurable file I could add it to.

Thanks

In theory you could set the os_eth to eth1 in /data/etc/os.conf. I never tested it but it should work.

Oh thanks - here we go.

It appears to be working - I'll do some comparisons now.

Thanks again
