Anyone get an RS814 to work? It connects to the router, but it does not show up in synology at all. Using r8152-armadaxp-2.15.0-4.spk.

Which DSM Version do you have installed?
Why do you try to install a absolutely and terribly outdated SPK?
Remove it completely, reboot and use these:

If you use DSM 6.2:
https://github.com/bb-qq/r8152/releases/download/2.17.1-2/r8152-armadaxp-2.17.1-2_6.2.spk

If you use DSM 7.1:
https://github.com/bb-qq/r8152/releases/download/2.17.1-2/r8152-armadaxp-2.17.1-2_7.1.spk

I use the 7.1 version without any problems on my 2x DS414 Backup NAS that I use to Backup my DS420+ to (Yes, it uses 2.5 GBit USB too ^^).
Not much performance gain due to the slow CPU, but it does provide at least a lil bit more than the builtin Gigabit LAN port. Especially after I went to MTU 9000 for a direct connection between these three devices.

7.1... Oh I only saw that version for xp, ill try it now! Thanks!

Installed 2.17.1-2 7.1 doesn't show up in networks like my Synology 220+ does hmmm...

Does it show up in the Synology Web UI? If so, try to give it a manually set IP instead of DHCP. Be 100% sure that DNS and Gateway are set right AND the Subnet Mask likely is 255.255.255.0 for you as for most ppl out there.

No, doesn't show up in the web UI, but does show connected to my 2.5G router (unifi) but it is not giving it an IP address. Ill work on network settings! Thank you!

And the driver does show as started in app manager? Of yes then I have no clue and hope for some logs explaining it.
