Firmware 6.4.0 on ReadyNas 104 (orange blinking network led)

Hello obaeyens,
Green off, amber blinking means 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps connection speed, this depends on the LAN port on the router/switch where the NAS is plugged in. If the router doesn't have gigabit ports then the NAS will not get gigabit speed.
Like StephenB mentioned, check the router. You may also try testing the other LAN port on the NAS since there are 2 LAN ports on it.

Wel that is the interesting part. It was green before the 6.4.0 firware upgrade.
I have a 104 and 204 connected to both the same 1 GB switch.
I swaped both 104 and 204 cables the amber persists and I even tried the other network card, it stays abmber.
I only saw this after the v6.4.0 firmware update on the 104. Nothing else changed.
For me it is not a breaking issue, but it indicates something in the firmware 6.4.0.
