  • That is most likely a hardware issue, not a firmware one.  If your router/switch is a "green" one, that can make the problem even worse.  Since you said "cards" (though there is no separate card), I'm assuming you've already tried both ports.  But do try both ports, a different cable, and a different connector on your router/switch.  If you have it on a switch and can try it on the router directly, that may also help, especially if the switch is "green" and the router not.

     

    You can also try removing your current drives (marking them so as to put them back in the same order) and set the NAS up anew with a spare drive.  If that doesn't have the same issue, then it is a firmware issue, and maybe we can find a solution short of a complete factory reset.

     

    When this occurs, do you also experience issues with shutting down the NAS?  If so, the hardware issue is likely with the 3.3VSB created in the NAS, not the Ethernet transceiver.  Not that it matters much, as neither is repairable.

        Warranty replacement does not require paid support (and paid support is not longer offered for any ReadyNAS).

         

        You can ask for a warranty replacement via my.netgear.com.
