RN 104 freezing/not responding/locking up with FW 6.4.0
RN 104 keeps freezing and becomes unresponsive (even the lcd screen freezes). I have to disconnect the power supply everytime. It tries to resync the data, but it freezes at random points. 3x 1 TB ...
Anyone have any success?
Mine freezes when I attempt a time machine back up.
Anyone have that problem?
I'm running the latest firmware.
I certainly have this problem. Systematically, when I run a back up job (on the front USB), the NAS freezes.
I run 6.4.0 as 6.4.1 simply slowed down the unit to a virtual halt.
Yet all the other parameters seem to be ok....
In 6.2.5, my back up jobs were running like a charm.
I think the OS is simply not up to par and it does not seem that Netgear has an intent to fix. These problems have been dragging on for a long time now.
I am at a loss. With a non-negligible number of users, I think we'll have to move to a more robuts hardware/software combination. This level of performance is simply not acceptable.
