LAN Connection Help ReadyNAS 204
Hi, I hope this is the right place to ask. I need a little help a issue I am having with my local network.
I have a very unreliable internet connection. I can lose my connection 2-3 times a day. When the connection drops, I lose whatever connection I had the the nas. So say I am watching a movie or listening to music on my Nvidia Shield TV, when the router reports no connction to the internet, the movie or music stops playing and I get a unable to connect to library message.
My set up is quite simple: Sky Q router, 3X Nvidia Shield TV's, 2 PC's, Various games consoles all routed through Netgear GS116UK 16 Port Gigabit Unmanaged Ethernet Switch.
Any help would be appreciated.

How are you accessing the ReadyNAS? SMB/NFS, DLNA, Plex?
FWIW, my NAS and media players are connected through ethernet switches. The media players access the NAS shares directly using SMB. I can turn off the router during playback, and the video keeps playing - that's because the switches are routing the video at layer-2, and the packets never reach the router.
Everything is shared via NFS. Could that be a the issue

I don't think so. Are your media players and the NAS both connected to the switch?
