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?

    "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

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

      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.

  • 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.
