Whiched out router and now running NAS through my swtch above. All access to the NFS server now is extreme slow response time. All connections to my network come off this switch. Running a Synology ...
Hi Jmacjr,
Welcome to the community,
As you described the plus switch performance should be the same as a unmanaged switch, so first you should turn off all the features that you are not using and use the monitoring tools that the GS116E has:
- Turned off IGMP snooping ( Page 16 http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/GS105EV2/WebManagedSwitches_UM_EN.pdf)
- Check port statistics ( Page 76 http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/GS105EV2/WebManagedSwitches_UM_EN.pdf) Is there any error in the NAS port or any other device?
- Check Link Speed/ Duplex ( Page 58 http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/GS105EV2/WebManagedSwitches_UM_EN.pdf) Is linked to the correct speed? If not could you update the network drivers on the NAS
In order to identify the problem it will also help if you can do a port mirrroring and capture the packets using a tool like wireshark.
Hope that it helps
