Netgear ReadyNas 102 Disconnects from Network
Hello everyone! I've had the Netgear ReadyNas 102 for a couple of years now I guess and haven't really had many issues with it. Recently, I've been experiencing frequent drops from the network that require me to manually shut down the NAS and restart. It immediately connects back to the network and is accessible through the web interface. I'm not sure how long it goes before disconnecting, but it's definitely more than a few hours. Has anyone experienced anything like this? I'm only using it for photo storage, music and my ripped DVD collection. I'm not really sure how to troubleshoot it or if the logs would be of any help. I just want to get it resolved as quickly as possible.
Thanks in advance!

Are you comfortable with linux commands?
What apps do you have installed? Do you have ReadyDLNA enabled?
What firmware are you running?
I'm currently running the latest version of the firmware available - 6.4.2
ReadyDLNA is enabled along with SMB, AFP, HTTP, HTTPS, iTunes, UPnP
The only app I have installed is Plex Media Server.
I'd be OK with running Linux commands as long as I knew how/where to run them. I haven't messed with Linux in quite some time.
Thanks!
The OS partition is 4 GB, and it might be getting full.
If you enable ssh in on the services page, you can then access with putty. The username is "root", the password is the NAS admin password.
Checking for OS fullness is easy, just enter
df . -i
df . -h
and post the results here.
- Yes, it is disabled.
How full is the data volume? Have you recently defragged/balanced it?
I'm going by memory, but there should be plenty of space. I want to say there are close to 2 TB free. I haven't defragged / balanced it. Is that something that I should look into doing? I haven't done any type of maintenance on this since I've had it set up. I can definitely do so if that might help.
