View Full Version : GB QUAD GBLAN USB Adaptor now available.
Finally they are ready :D
GB have informed me that they now have the GBLAN adaptors.
Best bet now is to contact "Oeden Onur" at
onur@impex-sat.de to arrange delivery.
It might be helpful to quote your name/shipping address and serial number of you Quad.
They will be supplied free for owners of Quads with the serial numbers from YAD1208000001 to YAD1208001001 ;)
whooopee lol
email sent, lets see how long it takes for delivery now, odds are it'll be the usual 3 weeks? :)

All
Will all future quads come with a free adaptor or is this for old machines only.
Or is the Quad now sold with built in gigabit...
hi,
only 1st 1000 buyers get it.

Thanks for this.
Mine is in the first 1000 so I've sent my email :thumbsup:
I bought mine 2 months ago, will I be in the first 1000:rofl:
That's really going to entice me to buy one ...... LOL

Hi mate,
Mail them with that exact point - nothing to lose. Agree that limiting them to the first 1000 is very bad form. False advertising from the start.
Tapatalker
Who knows ;) maybe they only ever made a 1000 of them :p
They changed serial number at the same time they changed the packaging to say 10/100 mbps instead of gigabit.
However, I think Marty said they still advertise the Quad as having Gigabit on the web :smash:

Hi,
indeed. German version of product sheet says 10/100MBit but english page still says 100/1000. Not a good sign of a professional company.

They seem to be a small outfit trying their best and producing some great kit. I think the Quad is superb.

Could not agree more.. I love my quads.. IMO.. They better than the Solo2..

I love my quads.. IMO.. They better than the Solo2..
Tell us why please? Apart from the exchangeable and number of tuners that is.
Because of the GB-lan? Or the transcoding options? Or the much bigger box? Or.....?
Having both boxes and used both of them in real world use, imho the solo2 is the better box.
Vtuners for it work out of the box and no flaffing around and to me at least, it seems to be faster to boot up.
:) Any compliment of the Quad always leads to a Solo2 comparison.
I bought a Quad, it was the cheapest option that did what I wanted. My expectations were not high given my l-o-o-o--n-g association with this 'hobby'. I am genuinely impressed with what I bought, bearing in mind I did know about the GB lan issue prior to purchase.
What I would LIKE to see:
Transcoding to allow me to watch stuff whilst 'on the road'.
3D BD ISO playback (pre-decrypted)
Is vtuner not working on the QUAD..
I use this alot on my Duo and will need it on my DUO replacement...

Nope, my pctv290e worked as long as there was no recording. As soon as one kicked in black screen, which made the whole thing useless.

None of this has anything to do with the free adaptor ;)
Marty does that mean that vtuners works OK on Quad or needs extra config or doesn't work at all....

That is very true and I apologies for rambling.
I hope the wait for your adapter is worth it. Based on the fact identical such adapters retail for £15 and have been available for next day delivery for over a year, these Gigablue sourced ones are obviously very special and well worth the wait :-D

They are special ;) they are free :D
the gblan is not much of an issue for me, thats why i havent purchased a £15 dongle a long time ago.. 100meg is ample for my box's needs.
but as this is free and im entitled to one, why not :)

What he said :thumbsup:
For me it's a matter of principle :mad: it was advertised as GBLAN so I bloody want it!!!!!!!! (though I'll settle for much less than GBLAN :p ) about double fast Ethernet will it be?
Hi,
a German guy made some tests with different kind of adapter and he reached between 20 and 30 MByte/sec

Same thing to me, I've received also UPS confirmation email of the shipment.
I've sent the request to the email address posted in this topic, only writing my serial number, and, of course, my address.
Looking at ordering a QUAD from WOS but wonder if anyone knows if they currently have the GB QUAD GBLAN USB Adaptor for sale....
If yes how much is it to cost. (saw €20 branded about on other giga websites...)
Same here :D
not recieved anything yet me
did you guys email onur?

VIX doesn't seem to detect mine (pretty sure a driver issue)
On my PC it gets detected as a "LAN7500"
Here a screenshot of its performance (500mb test file)

The little book that comes with shows it working on OpenMips.
I "think" we need "smsc7500.ko" ?
I have Linux stuff here (that I don't quite understand :p ) if someone wants a go at a driver?
http://martysport.free.fr/gblan/lan7500_1.02.00.tar.gz
there have been a few commits to include usb lan adpaters for the image
is that driver not in the feeds?

I've got mine, here in Italy, this morning.
I didn't try to install it yet, but i've seen in changelog of 715 version of the Vix image that it was mentioned the Gigablue Usb ethernet adapter...
Don't it work straight if I connect it? What must do to make it work?

Try 715 (I only just had time to update mine a few mins ago) if it doesn't work then simply telnet your quad this opkg install kernel-module-smsc75xx
Don't forget to reboot ;)
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm :confused:
I wasn't too happy with the results from Lan Speed Test Lite so I tried a "real life" situation and tried copying some files to and from the Quad to my PC.
Results were better than that reported by lan speed test :D
Upload (PC to Quad) was a good 20 MB/s (that's megabytes not megebits)
Download (Quad to PC) was a bit better again at 28ish MB/s sometimes peaking at 30MB/s
2784827849
So, write speed is nearly double fast Ethernet (100mbps) and read speed is nearly triple :)
As suspected far from gigabit :p but better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick :p
Speeds are a bit higher on a PC, maybe things might improve in the future with better drivers?
can you use both the ethernet and usblan adpater together? :)

I'm sure you can. The same applies to LAN + WLAN.
Gosh - same speed as the other LAN7500 adapters without Gigablue written on them :-D
Just a reminder that in my tests the usb3 ASIX chipset was a tad faster and didn't try to act as a third radiator for my lounge.
However free is good
hi
if you haven't sorted it out already
goto plugins
press green button / download plugins
second down drivers
network-usb-rt75xx
restaert box and you will have another network in network setting

Are the speeds with the usb adaptor showing up much better than 100mb onboard or are they near normal onboard gigabit.

As my serial number is not included in the numbers that are promoted to receive a free adapter i was looking for some cheap solution, i've found on aliexpress a product that are very similar with the adapter that gigablue is sending, even the box is the same. I will buy one to test.

You don't need to test anything or buy from exotic sellers. I bought two different adapters and published the result on this board months ago.
There are three common chipsets:
SMSC LAN7500 (USB2)
ASIX AX88178 (USB2)
ASIX AX88179 (USB3)
In general the read speeds are good for all at 30-33 mB/s (280 mbit/s), whereas only the ASIX88179 offered similarly consistently high write speeds. The LAN7500 chipset was about 20% slower when writing and got very hot in use.
These read speeds equate to ~ 3x the built-in port speed and about 40% of the speed of 'proper' gigabit.
Gigablue are giving away units based on SMSC LAN7500.
An equivalent LAN7500 device would be the Digitus Dn10150 device, an example of an AX88179 device would be the Digitus DN3023 device. I bought one of each of these for £15 each from amazon.
I hope that is comprehensive
One rider I will add is that the latest VIX 715 build doesn't seem to work with the ASIX AX88179 driver plugin.
[Edit] Actually ignore the above. It is working fine :)

Mine was't either but an email and adapter is here. Though I was surprised as bought box when it first came out so expected it yo be 108 and not 109 as it is.

Hi,
I was the same - mailed about two weeks ago, sent a follow up last week, but heard nothing at all between then and this morning. Received mail at 9am today stating despatch happened today - tracking number included.
No harm I suppose in a friendly follow up mail but I'd say you are on the list.

Hi,
Just bought my Quad and saw this thread regarding the adaptor. I sent an email on Thursday 12th September, quoted my serial number which starts with YAD121 and received my adaptor in the post today!
GAH
No way!!!
I have chased twice and nothing from them at all.
My box has serial YAD1208000*** I believe I am within the first 1000 units.
Anything back from them would be nice, even an autoresponder. :argue:
Hi,
I have to say I was totally surprised to receive the adaptor at all, never mind so quickly! I had no email from them, it just came totally out of the blue, and included a GigaBlue brochure on all their receivers.
GAH
sent 4 emails now, first one on the 8th of August and not a single reply so far.

Today a get the answer: "Yes you can have a Gigabitadapter but You must ask your dealer."
Is there a specific USB adapter I must purchase for the quad. I haven't got a reply from gigablue re free one
gigablue have there own branded one you can buy which is the one you would get for free.
I think I'm entitled to one these and now I've got my shiny new router with 4 gblan ports I'm going to send an email. If its too late for a free one is there a preferred adopter?
it's been 3 months i sent the first email and up to now i didn't get a response.
Nice from Gigablue, good service. :(
Sent from my V972 Core4 using Tapatalk HD
is there any other brand that will work with quad.
TBH you won't notice a major difference, I know I use one but only because it was free :p You will just about double your speed (OK maybe 2.5x in some cases)
That would do me Marty. Do you have a model number or product name of the adapter I should buy
