DI-624 wireless and gigabit router
The DI-624 seems to perform just fine with the ReadyNas Ultra 2. At first, I had a lot of problems. There were network hiccups in connecting to the nas, especially noticeable when trying to play...
Hi StephenB,
Thanks for the reply.
What do you mean by "marginal" ? You mean "broken" ?
Actually, I'm now still encountering regular dropouts, and now the traffic only goes through a D-Link DGS-1008D... :-(
I already switched ports / cables, but no effect. I'm pretty sure the cabling is ok. I also experience no problems whatsoever connecting
between several WinXP and Win7 client PC's (shares, remote desktop, even playing MP3's from a shared folder on 1 PC to another PC also works perfectly !)
I did a simple (not very reliable, but still) network speedtest, and that indicates 500 Mbit / sec from and to my NAS.
I tried to set the MTU settings to 1470 (which all of my PC's seem to be able to handle, I tested this with "ping -f -l 1470 <IP-address>"). No effect...
I also enabled WINS, and tried to enable Jumbo Frames, but this all made no difference whatsoever...
Basically, I tried everything I could find, but no luck, the connections still keep dropping out.
Sometimes it works for a minute or 15 straight, and then suddenly again hiccups every minute or couple of minutes...
I'm getting desperate... Could this really be the D-Link DGS-1008D switch (this is not a green-mode switch by the way).
But then I still don't understand why the NAS is giving me trouble while I am having no problems between my several PC's ?
