readynas 626x keeps downgrading the 10Gbps LAN port to 1gb that i have been using and have been since new two years plus

Readynas firmware 6.10.6 connected to Netgear XS512EM switch connected to Netgear RAX120 router multigig port at 5GB

Have checked and cable tested from switch all ok no errors but have replaced cat6a cable anyway problem stil persists i run two readynas units 1 626x and a 526 both via the 10gb port the 526 i use as a backup have had no problems with either using this until 

i noticed last week the 626x is connected to port 2 on the switch

    I didn't think the 526 and 626 supported multigig negotiation.

     

    Have you tried setting the speed for the port to 10 gigabit manually?

      I don't have that particular switch, but from your picture it looks like you select the port on the left, and then select the speed from the pulldown (changing Auto to the speed you want).

        Thank you for your reply i have never made any settings in the switch just used as plug n play do you mean the QOS settings if i play with those will it upset the other things a knock on effect i did move the 626 port further along to see if it made a difference as has happened before after unplugging and plugging back in it is back up to 10gb
