remote access issues. duplex, auto negotiate. front view
So 2 days ago i installed the remote access capability. a friend in england accessed it perfectly. the next day i went to we were on the nas, when it was apparent that the nas was painfully slow. shrugged it off and didnt bother. last night i got to watch a movie off the nas when again the speed of it was slow. so i tried to copy paste a movie file to my desktop. normally the transfers move a 10Meg, it was at 5KB. ive experienced this problem before when the network setting was changed to 100M full duplex. so i go into front view to check the settings. on the network interface page, i noticed that it was no longer on auto-negotiate. so i tried to change to auto, apply, refresh. setting didnt take effect i try this several time, still it would not change to auto negotiate. so i try half duplex MTU 1492. then full duplex with large packet, both only reaching a max speed of 4.7Megs. i just now tried to change to auto negotiate, apply refresh, now i cant get into front view at all. i can access nas, 4.5Megs speeds, but no front view at all. any help would be truly appreciated.

- power cycled nas, its been booting ever since the last post. so 20ish minutes. i can access everything on the nas, just played a movie, and a song off of it.
- got front view back. still though, the status cannot be changed to auto negotiate, and it will only switch to full or half, achieving 4.5M transfers at best
- Full duplex should be full speed. You might take a look at the cable.
If you want the best speeds, you should put a gigabit switch between your router and your wired network equipment.
