Cannot connect discovery server
Hi, had my readynas 104 for 10 months with three x 3TB drives fitted - all working well - but had occasional failed transfers to it but this seems to have cleared up till recently. I spotted it wasn't...
Ok. So you can access the NAS from the desktop, even though the NAS isn't appearing on the left pane of windows explorer.
You can't access it from the laptop at all? Even with \\nas-name or \\nas-ip-address entered directly into the windows explorer address bar (using the real name and IP address of course)???
fwiw, you might try changing the topology to:
virgin router->TP-500->TP-500->Netgear router->GS108.
The TP500 is almost certainly faster than your virgin internet. It's not as fast as the NAS though. Whether its faster than your wifi link depends on the WiFi mode and the circuit quality on the TP-500 connections. The change shouldn't do any harm (assuming the new router location is good for WiFi coverage), and it might be somewhat better.
