Network Issue between ReadyNAS and Router (AVM FritzBox 7490)
Hi there, we recently moved from an "old" Ultra2+ towards RN312. Migration was fine. But we have a major issue with our internet connection (Router is an AVM FritzBox) now. The connection run...

What firmware are you running? Also, can you list the services and apps that are enabled/installed?
You might also try disabling IPv6 in the NAS

Firmware is newest available, 7.5.something afaik?! There are no apps at all installed, no antivirus enabled, no IPv6 enabled (also disabled on the router). Services only smb, http, https, nothing else. I tried to elimate all possible causes, but nothing I could think of helped.

You must mean 6.7.5 (current production release).
ReadyCloud is also off?
These traffic bursts are unusual. The NAS will sync with the NTP server from time to time, and it will occasionally try to update from Netgear repositories (which is silent, and doesn't change the firmware version).
You could try removing all DNS servers, or possibly try misconfiguring the gateway IP - both would prevent the NAS from reaching the internet, but keep it on your local network.

Yes, i confirmed it´s 6.7.5.
ReadyCloud is off.
I even don´t know if it is some kind of traffic burst, since i can´t see any unusual usage on the router logs. The NAS is not syncing with an ntp, since i forced to sync time with the router, it provides a time server as well. I used the standard time server sync from netgear before, no difference.
I will try the option preventing the NAS reaching iNet. Will come back with results.
Is there an easy solution to "sniff" the network traffic between the NAS and router? Kind of wireshark? Or put the interface in promiscuous mode?
Just to mention: I connected the NAS direktly to the Port of the Router without any other devices. So there can´t be any other interference from the rest of the network...
