No gigabit connection on my ReadyNAS NV+ v1
Hi everyone! I just got here due I’m having an issue that apparently it has been from day one but never considered as an issue due I never required the full speed capabilities of the NAS. Well, here...
I'm thinking this is almost certainly a problem with the NIC in the NAS.
Fast ethernet uses only pins 1,2,3,6, and autonegotiation only uses those two pairs.
"Since negotiation takes place on only two pairs, if two gigabit devices are connected through a cable with only two pairs, the devices will successfully choose 'gigabit' as the highest common denominator (HCD), but the link will never come up." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gigabit_Ethernet
That quote seems to matcb your symptoms. But since you've tested with several cables (including one that works with the laptop), then it seems likely that something within the NAS NIC has failed on pins 4,5,7, or 8.
Hello Abelynux,
When the NAS is connected to the laptop directly and you set static IP address 192.168.168.100 on the laptop, are you able to ping the NAS?
It does seem there is something wrong with the NIC's gigabit connection. Try setting a manual IP on the NAS that is on the same IP range of your network then see if it gets the same results.
Welcome to the community!

Hi JennC!
Thanks a lot for the reply!
When the NAS is connected to the laptop, if the network card on the laptop is configured as Auto, no ping and no webpage from the NAS, if I set the laptop network as 100MBit full duplex, ping and webpage works.
I have tried the static IP configuration on the NAS with the modem network/subnetmask, same results.
Thanks again and Best Regards.

Hello Abelynux,
It could already be a problem on the NIC of the NAS and you already have the latest FW version.
I may need to check this with others who can probably assist you and get back to you as soon as possible. For the meantime, let's see and wait if other community members have ideas that they can share.
Thanks for your cooperation!
