ahlaklisuvari, Why use chatgpt? apparently it gave you a wrong instruction. If you run the installer as instructed at Debian site https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/Linksys/WRT1200AC, then you need to do everything according to the instruction on that site.

Hi Trond, Note that the oscillator g762 here is for PWM Fan Controller.by bodhi - Debian
It might not be related. But another significant difference is the RN102/104 use PCIe SATA controller chip 88SE9170. The Mirabox does not have SATA, the PCIe bus is used for USB3 controller. https://wikidevi.wi-cat.ru/Netgear_ReadyNAS_RN104 https://wikidevi.wi-cat.ru/GlobalScale_MiraBox_V5by bodhi - Debian

Hi Trond, The significant difference between the Mirabox and this RN 102/104 is: the oscillator. armada-370-netgear-rn104.dts g762: g762@3e { compatible = "gmt,g762"; reg = <0x3e>; clocks = <&g762_clk>; /* input clock */by bodhi - Debian

Jungle, This problem was reported for this RN104 box (in the kernel ML) about 5-6 years ago. But I did not see any specific patch submitted afterward, so not sure if people have fixed the root cause. Perhaps you should run your box with a cron job to adjust the system clock, like Trond did in the installation thread. I think it will potentially help in timer-related tasks.by bodhi - Debian

Jungle, Make sure you are running the 6.5.7 kernel. Reboot, login and don't turn off flow control. Just leave the defaut whatever it is. And get the current settings ifconfig -a ethtool eth0 (you should mask out the MAC addresses from ifconfig output). ====== I'm still looking for the datasheet for this chip 88e1318.by bodhi - Debian
