Lagging out my internet
I own a ReadyNAS 314, and have turned off all my addons for troubleshooting, but regardless, if i decide to get on my xbox one or any other platform, i cannot play games online without lagging out ent...
Transmission is definitely able to make you lag (too much download or upload). For the other, unless you find a way to saturate your switch/router backplane (by saturating most of its ports at the same time) with a combination of those, you should be ok because they do not use that much internet.
Just to be perfectly clear as for your setup.
You have a single router with :
on ethernet : NAS + ROKU + xbox 360 + xbox one
on wifi : Iphone + Mackook pro
Looks like a simplified version of my network (I have everything separated, wifi = time capsule, modem = ISP router, router = Cisco 1812, switch = Netgear GS108T, but all that is basically a wifi router...), roku is replaced by apple TV and I have a server, a TV, an amplifier and a wifi printer added.
A functioning network is a combination of :
wires (I include wifi in that)
DNS (address translation from/to IP/name)
IP addresses (DHCP gives them automatically)
filtering (firewalls, proxy...)
switching / routing (selecting the best path to reach destination)
Pretty much anything of that can slow down your network.
=> if wires don't have enough available bandwidth available, you end up with a waiting line
=> if DNS are slow, you take time to reach a website (unless you know its IP address)
=> if you have IP address conflicts you can have two machines fighting for an address, resulting in connection loss
=> if your filter is slow you get waiting line, like for wires
=> if your switching/routing is badly done you end up doing more distance than you need to, adding travel time for network paquets. You can also end up with network saturation on complicated networks (switches connected several times to each other, directly or through other switches)
That's simplified but you get the idea I guess.
That's pretty much what I can say to you, but I have no idea why your NAS is doing that.
Did you try to just unplug the network cable instead of shutting down (should show the same result but on a matter of seconds and not in minutes) ?
Did you test your bandwidth while having the problem, and without having it to compare ?
Did you try to reset the NAS to automatic IP mode (or just to change its IP) ?
Did you try the factory reset (beware you would lose everything, including data, on the NAS) ?
Does it also affect the Wifi ? or just wired devices ?
Have you contacted Netgear ?
