808 What 10GBase-T switches and PCIe cards has Sonnet tested for interoperability?Dec-22-19
809 What reasonably-priced 10GBASE-T switches can Sonnet recommend?Dec-22-19
Sonnet has found the 10GBASE-T NETGEAR ProSAFE XS708E 8-port, and ProSAFE XS712T 12-Port 10-Gigabit Smart Switches to be a cost-effective, yet high-performance switches. They supports comprehensive networking features such as VLAN, QoS, IGMP and MLD snooping, L2+ Static Routing, Link Aggregation, ACL, and IPv6 management. The ProSAFE series has an easy-to-use web management GUI, and can be daisy-chained for expansion.
 
814 I'm getting low throughput on macOS. How can I fix this?May-26-22
993 My system crashes, freezes, or fails to connect when I talk to a storage device on the networkMay-13-22
Go to System Preferences...Network.
Select the 10GbE port and click "Advanced..."
Select the Hardware tab.
If Jumbo packets are on, turn them off, click OK and click Apply.
If that fixes the problem, then stay at Standard (1500), or check the Jumbo packet setting of every switch and device in the path.

If that doesn't fix the problem, check Flow Control.
If Flow Control is off, turn it on; or if it is on, turn it off. Not all devices support flow control, or the absence of flow control.
 
1015 Can I connect a Solo10G Thunderbolt 3 Edition Adapter to a Thunderbolt 2 Mac?May-13-22
Thunderbolt 2 does not have enough power to directly connect a Thunderbolt 3 bus-powered device like the Solo10G Thunderbolt 3 adapter. However, you can connect the Solo10G if you have an intermediate Thunderbolt 3 device in the chain that is wall-powered, for example the Sonnet Echo 11 Dock.

Thunderbolt 2 Mac----Apple TB 3 (USB-C) to TB 2 Adapter----Wall-powered Thunderbolt 3 Device----Solo10G Thunderbolt 3 Edition

Note that the Apple Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter is reversible and will support a Thunderbolt 2 Mac and a Thunderbolt 3 device (as well as a Thunderbolt 3 Mac and a Thunderbolt 2 device).
 
1018 I'm getting poor performance with my Solo10G through a Netgear XS716 10G switch.May-30-20
We did a test installation with a QNAP TS-1685, and two Sonnet Solo10G's on Thunderbolt 3 iMacs and a brand new Netgear XS716 10G switch. We were only getting about 160 MB/sec read, even thought we were using macOS 10.13.6 (which disables SMB Signing), and we enabled Jumbo Frames in the Macs, the Netgear and the QNAP. We plugged the Sonnet directly into the QNAP, and instantly got 1000 MB/sec. We did a "factory default" reset on the Netgear XS716T, and the "problem" was solved.
