The internal LAN in LabSat 4 (LAN1) is limited to approximately 85 MB/s. This affects the replaying abilities for files with higher data rates. We have, therefore, added support for the UGREEN 2.5 Gbps USB to Ethernet Adapter, which will provide higher and more stable throughput speeds (up to approximately 240 MB/s).
When you connect the UGREEN Ethernet Adapter to the Host USB (USB-A) port on the rear panel of LabSat 4, LAN2 will become available for configuration in the Setup menu on the Front Panel Display and in the System Setup menu in the Web Server.
