Keep getting NETWORK CHANGED message since upgrading to 6.9.0
Yesterday I upgraded the firmware on my RN 316 to the latest firmware 6.9.0. Since upgrading I have noticed that I keep getting the words NETWORK CHANGED on the NAS display which will then change to ...

Thanks for the detailed information. We are now able to duplicate the issue using a Nighthawk S8000 switch. After updating the firmware to the version I mentioned earlier, the problem went away. You can now download 6.9.1-T119 here, and it should resolve the issue. Please confirm if it works for you.

Skywalker ignore the question about whether the firmware update is for RN 316's, I saw that someone else had loaded it onto their 314 and I know that the 316 has the same processor as them.
I have loaded the update onto my 316 and put through quite intensive data writes with two laptops copying via a GB network 100GB of data from each laptop to the server while at the same time the server being connected via DLNA on my tv with video streaming.
There were no problems at all, the copy processes completed with no network disconnects, the display on the NAS stayed completely blank and the DLNA streaming continued uninterrupted - so I would say that you have managed to resolve the issue (at least from my perspective).
Thanks to everyone who helped get this fixed, including end users who provided logs to Netgear for investigating :smileyhappy:

I have just completed transferring 260GB of files each ranging from 6.6GB to 19.3GB without a problem.
At the same time DLNA was uninterrupted.
It appears that the problem has been solved. Would it be correct that it is 314x specific and if so does that mean that future updates might again be a problem for the 314 design? (It is not the Nighthawk switch as I don't have one - I have the FVS318G router).
Thank you sincerely to everybody at Netgear and in the community who have obviously worked very hard and with the customers to solve this problem.

- mdgm-ntgrNov 05, 2017NETGEAR Employee Retireddavidr1, as we can reproduce the problem, if a newer version of the driver again is made available and if we decide to look into using that we can easily check to see if the problem still exists with that or not.
However there’s the possibility a newer driver version could have other issues. - davidr1Nov 05, 2017Luminary
Thanks mdgm.
I guess Netgear (and other vendors) are in a no-win situation here as you, as we do, assume drivers provided to you work properly.
I have never met such an animal as bug-free software.
You are right - future drivers (or updates) are taken on faith, not guarantee. I think anybody who expects bug-free softwre deludes themselves.
Anyway, at the end of the day, a sincere thanks for working so hard on this. That has been my experience for several years now - a good record ...
