DLNA Continues to drop out RN104/6.4.2

Hi,

 

I have a fully wired LAN.

Running Firmware 6.4.2

 

It seems that every time a new update is about to be launched, my DLNA starts dropping out.

 

I'll be sitting watching regualr TV and I'll keep getting messages popping up telling me the ReadyNas has connected to the LAN - like a new device hjas been added/PnP.

 

And/or, if I'm streaming a move from the ReadyNas, it will suddenly stop playing and a hop over to the regular TV.

I have to change TV input, browse to the folder and start the movie again.

 

Normally, If I stop a movie at any part, I have the option to 'jump' back to it.  When the ReadyNas drops out, I don't have this option

 

It is very annoying.

 

I also recently found the ReadyNas very, very slow.  It wanted to build a FAT/Index everytime I looked for files  - took ages.

I have installed SMB plus and disabled the antivirus - this is what I found when I googled the problem - it seems to have helped the speed issue.
