ReadyNAS Duo v2 network speed
Hello, I have never accessed the community before although I am a longtime ReadyNAS Duo v1 user. The NAS has been a very reliable servant for me, acting as file storage for my home business and also ...

Using the Network Speed Test on the NTV550 showed that the speed for the v1 share is 70+Mb/s while the speed for the v2 share is 10Mb/s so I assume the problem is with the network speed of the v2. How can this be, as the default settings for the v1 worked perfectly straight out of the box?
I suspect an issue with the ethernet in the v2.
Look on at the LED on the ethernet port. Is it green? Or is it amber?
Is the v2 connected to the same switch (or router) as the original Duo?
Try another cable. If that doesn't help, try another port on your router/switch. If it is on a switch (especially a "green" one), then try connecting directly to your router. Or vice-versa.
Thanks for your quick responses and I should have expanded my trouble shooting a little futher. Yes, both the v1 and v2 are into the same switch and both show green so the gigabit is all good. I have already tried a cable swap as well as a different port in the switch with no change - I've been working on it for a couple of days! Fiddled around with trying to get the NTV550 to use NFS after making the v2 share only have that service but couldn't get it to scan anything that way, so back to trying to get SMB up to speed. If you have any advice regarding NFS, or can point me in the direction of a step by step guide to making NFS work, I could try that from the NTV. Thanks again.

What disks are you using in the v2?
Have you confirmed that the v2 isn't still syncing?
Have you also tried testing the transfer speed in a PC?

I don't recall any particular issues getting NFS to work - but I've never owned a v2 NAS, and it might be a bit different.
FWIW, while I have a NTV550 on the shelf, I'm actually still using my EVA9000 as our media player.
