Looks like somebody else works on the same: https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/3wjvylq9 When receiving my hardware, I'll try the same.

Using Hyper-V I see only one solution to create a second interface that can be used by Multichannel SMB. A virtual machine can connect to the lan interface using vlan. Between host and VM you can add a intern network. You just need a VM that connects both interfaces. Maybe another solution. Using a second IP address with is in a different subnet adding to the Wlan interface. Having 2 IPs in different subnets, Unraid can be accessed via 2 different lan interfaces. It's just the question on how to bring SMB to use both addresses.

Today I worked on Vlan on Windows side for INTEL AX200. My result is that Vlan isn't supported at least directly. As I have Windows 11 pro for Workstation, I have started Hyper-V. It offers Virtual Switches that I can add to the network card (eg. to Intel Wifi6 AX200). It would be nice whether it would be possible to use is for SMB multichannel.

As Unraid supports Vlan, the switch in step 2 isn't needed and Unraid could directly be connected to the router when vlan tagging is enabled within Unraild.

I bought a new router with WIFI 6 (ASUS RT-AX58U, AX3000 with 2404MBps) and now the WIFI speed is faster than the LAN port (1000MBps) of the router. I'm thinking about using mulitchannel SMB to increase the speed over the WIFI using 2 LAN ports of the router. Please support me to find a solution checking my idea: 1. Unraid with 2x LAN 1000MBps 2. Between Unraid and Wlan router I place a switch, that supports Vlans to allow to transport both Unraid LANs via a separate VLAN via WIFI to the laptop. 3. Laptop gets for each Vlan a separate network card. 4. Laptop must support multichannel SMB 5. My laptop has Win11 pro for Workstation What do you think this could be realized?

I tried the 2 versions of 3.0. 2.0 shows error message starting the VM. With Redhad 10G internal interface, I get 300-130MB having 100% CPU load (Yes it's a low performance CPU). With Realtek 2.5G in and out I get 17-25MB with 80 CPU load. I copy from/to the same SSD. If I copy between Laptop and Unraid via 2,5G interface, I get full network performance

I'd like to give me my feedback using USB manager: I selected the following devices to the VM: ASIX Electronics Corp. AX88772B (0b95:772b) RealtekCorp. USB 10/100/1G/2.5G LAN (0bda:8156) MediaTek Inc. Wireless_Device (0e8d:0608) In VM I installed Win10 and had access to: ASIX Electronics Corp. AX88772B (0b95:772b) RealtekCorp. USB 10/100/1G/2.5G LAN (0bda:8156) About ediaTek Inc. Wireless_Device (0e8d:0608): Windows could see only the Bluethooth part and had problems with this. Maybe the device is broken anyhow?!?! I did a speed test with RealtekCorp. USB 10/100/1G/2.5G LAN (0bda:8156) connected to unraid via a second 2.5GB/sec Realtek, but performance was very low (maybe 5% speed). I checked with the VM Network card and this was very fast. I installed Ubuntu VM and OpenWRT VM, but MediaTek Inc. Wireless_Device (0e8d:0608) was not detected. I tried with kernel boot option: append pcie_acs_override=downstream,multifunction vfio_iommu_type1.allow_unsafe_interrupts=1 initrd=/bzroot, Than I was trying to us the PC as media player connecting a monitor. But I wasn't able that the VM uses the monitor. I tryed with and without sound, as sound is in a different IOMMU group, and sound isn't allown: IOMMU group 13: [8086:4d87] 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation Device 4d87 (rev 01) [8086:4dc8] 00:1f.3 Audio device: Intel Corporation Jasper Lake HD Audio (rev 01) [8086:4da3] 00:1f.4 SMBus: Intel Corporation Jasper Lake SMBus (rev 01) [8086:4da4] 00:1f.5 Serial bus controller: Intel Corporation Jasper Lake SPI Controller (rev 01) Thus up to know, my hardware don't make me happy. I was expecting, that the monitor for VMs don't make me trouble as I was thinking that this works without extra work, but I failed. Maybe I just continue to use the x86 as Unraid server and pfsense firewall. If you have some more ideas to test, please let me know.

I wasn't aware of the USB manager. I'll give it a try and let you know about my results. But first I need to read the 10 pages... Thanks for you help so far.

I believe that I bought the wrong hardware and that I can't do what I want. My goal is to build one PC to handle several tasks. This should result in a low power consumption : 1. High speed network between PC and Unraid via direct connection 2.5MBit/s, ZFS incl. data compression on 14T harddisk => Works perfectly 2. Wlan acces point via OpenWRT VM using the internal wlan card => That's I'm working on. 3. TV/media via Windows VM (VPN to Zattoo), Youtube web browsing,...) My hardware is Mobile CPU powered Mini PC PN41 from ASUStec with 6W max power and 2.5MBit/s network. I exchanged the wlan card from INTEL to MediaTek to have OpenWRT driver support I added external 12V power supply for 3,5" hard disc (PC works only with 5V) Now to my issue. I found out very late that the USB controller is handling too much devices, that I need to separate for the VMs. Number one issue is the USB stick of Unraid (Bus 002 Device 003 Flash Drive). If I give the complete group to one VM, than Unraid has no access to the boot device. This can't be healthy: IOMMU group 3:[8086:4ded] 00:14.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation Device 4ded (rev 01) Bus 001 Device 001 Port 1-0 ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 001 Device 002 Port 1-8 ID 0e8d:0608 MediaTek Inc. Wireless_Device Bus 002 Device 001 Port 2-0 ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub Bus 002 Device 002 Port 2-2 ID 090c:1000 Silicon Motion, Inc. - Taiwan (formerly Feiya Technology Corp.) Flash Drive Bus 002 Device 003 Port 2-5 ID 0bda:8153 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8153 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter IOMMU group 14:[10ec:8125] 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8125 2.5GbE Controller (rev 05) I have another USB wlan stick and USB ethernet 2.5GB/s stick which are in the same IOMMU group 3. The USB ethernet 2.5GB/s worked already and I could find it in the network setting. But after the last actual update of Unraid, now I can't find anymore. It would be interesting to know why but it's not my main issue. The USB wlan stick have never been seen in the network setup. To all what I read already about (and seen on spaceinvader One video), I can't splitt the devices from USB controller. I tried "Enable PCIe ACS Override=Downstream, Multi-Function, Both" but nothing changed. The only thing that I didn't tryed is, as I believe its the same as Enable PCIe ACS Override=both: append pcie_acs_override=downstream,multifunction initrd=/bzroot What do you thing? Do you see a chance to get the MediaTek card out of the IOMMU group 3 to use it in a VM? Best regards,
