pure performace and connecting losses after update to V 6.4.0 on RN 2120
After automatic update to V 6.4.0 our RN 2120 v2 performace is really pure.
SMB-Connections to Windows 7 Clints are not stable and User/Group rights a ignored.
We need a fast hotfix for those problems because we can use our ReadyNas as fileserver at the moment?
Any quick help?

Adding to this, our 516 is behaving so bad after the 6.4 update. Constant connection drops, unresponsive UI, a total nightmare. This completely sucks.

Hello akustikbuero,
Please check this forum discussion:
You may also try turning off disk spin down and see if the same problem.
Regards,
Correction of my first post:
"We need a fast hotfix for those problems because we can't use our ReadyNas as fileserver at the moment?"
list of my attempts without any improvements:
- try turning off disk spin down -> still SMB-connection losses
- try with SMB+ app to downgrade SMB-version of SMB to 2.0 an 2.1 -> still SMB-connection losses
- delete BOND0 and now using only one network device that is connected to switch with static IP adress > still SMB-connection losses
- user/group rights -> You have to select all single user in share-setting to give them read/write rights (grouprights are ignored!) and have fun, if you have more then 10 colleagues!
After contact with netgear support, the suggestion was: reinstall OS with boot-option -> I'll try to night and if I experience any improvements, I let you know!
best regards

Does an OS re-install wipe out the data? I'm having soooo many problems sinc 6.4 than I'm contemplating starting over (and putting Netgear on my blacklist).
netgear support say: "NO data loss on OS-reinstall -> I'll have to try it at night and all difficulties I may will experience, you'll read tomorror!
I have 2 backups (USB an another NAS) -> data loss is not a real problem for me.
best regards

This issue is fixed and will be included in next firmware firmware. Thank you.
