November 23, 20196 yr I was previously having an issue with my server's network configuration where a bonded connection with two ethernet cables connected was less reliable than a single connection. I have been running a single 1GB ethernet cable for awhile now but a few days ago I thought I would re-visit getting a bonded connection to work. I currently have all three of my MB's ethernet ports bonded but only one port has a cable connected. When I plug in a second cable I notice the connection seems less stable. SMB folder maps seem to time out, connection to Unraid's UI seems slower and streaming from Binhex's Plex container is very slow and often fails, reporting that my network connection is to slow. If I unplug a cable, doesn't matter which the network connectivity improves significantly. Are there peculiarities in utilising bonded connections?
