Do you have ssh enabled? If so, can you go in and run top to see if "[btrfs-cleaner]" shows up and is using lots of CPU? If so, then you may well be experiencing an issue that's been reported in other threads.

Once enabled, you ssh into the NAS as "root" user and use the admin password.
Once you have a shell, use the "top" command, and you'll see something like this:

Notice the "COMMAND" of the first line? That's what you're looking for. :)
To exit top, type "q". To disconnect from ssh session, simply use the command "exit".
If this all sounds scary, maybe wait for Netgear to make suggestions on how to proceed.

Thank you, I think I can handle it :)
Even so, I am monitoring now for a while, have had a few hours of stability, so wanting to see if it lasts as things are.
