Difficulty accessing Readynas with windows explorer
It is not that I can not access it at all. It is just I can not maintain a good healthy connection. Have the Windows 10 firewall turned off and restarted the PC. Still have this problem. Of...
It is possible that you have a damaged NAS. It could be the Ethernet transceiver (not just the connector) or maybe the internal +3.3VSB that powers it. What model NAS do you have? If it has two ports, try the other one. Are you also experiencing issues with power up or down? That circuit also uses +3.3VSB.
I actually purchased two ReadyNAS for parts that had damaged transceivers due to a local lightning strike. One would not connect to a "green" switch at all, and the other would only at 10Mbps. With a stronger switch, they would both connect at 100M but not 1G. But after some time, the worst one would drop to 10M. I didn't test them to see if they were dropping packets that might have made them even slower, since all I wanted were the cases and caddies (didn't trust the power bricks after a lightning strike, even though the damage obviously came in on the Ethernet cable). The indicator LEDs on the switch did show the connection speed being attained, so what does your show?

Also, if the ethernet performance is marginal, testing with iperf should help determine that, since it takes the disks/raid out of the equation.
As always, Thanks to folks for the time offering help.
The ethernet cable is to blame.
