Ready NAS 102, slow network speed (and saving data on reset)
RN102 (6.9.3) on Gigabit network using Lan Speed Test I'm getting 80/90 Mbps (not MB/s), similar with a known good cable connected directly. Same speed from different machines. Antivirus not enable...
Sorry, another question.
Q3. What happens if I
remove these drives.
Insert a new one
Factory reset the NAS
Test the network speed
And then reinsert the old drives
Should I be able to access the data ok?

Q1. Has anyone got any ideas of what could cause this before I factory reset it. To be fair it's been like this for a while and it's only now the annoying speed is an issue.
Security software on the PCs, using disk encryption on the NAS, SMB strict sync and transport encryption might have a performance impact.
I suggest looking at the ethernet stats in the log zip file. Perhaps also test with NasTester: http://www.808.dk/?code-csharp-nas-performance
Though I suspect you've tried this already, I'll mention it just in case - try rebooting the NAS.

Q2. If I do a factory reset on the NAS I will loose all data from the main disks?
But, assuming I disconnect it, the USB disk should be find to keep as is?
Yes to both

Yes if you do the power down steps I added to your sequence.
Thanks for the reply. Much appreciated.
Just to confirm, no disk encryption.
Not sure what strict sync is but will look.
I've got the logs but am not sure where I'm looking for ethernet stats please?
NAS performance tester 1.7 is better.....

Would still like to see it getting a bit higher ( real copying is about 10Mb) but much more reassuring. I've seen it should be capable of 70-80, 50 would do me.
Having looked a bit further I can see also a ton of errors in journalctl

The overrun means that the PC is delivering packets faster than NAS can receive them. Those packets need to be sent again, and that will hurt performance. Enabling ethernet flow control on the PC should resolve that.
You'll find the full ethernet stats in network_settings.log "errors", "frame" and "carrier" indicate hardware issues (NIC port or circuitry in one of the devices or a cable issue).

Thanks all
Interesting about ready cloud - I had turned it off in the apps part but clearly still trying to connect in some way.
For the flow control, this is turned on already so not quite sure why I'm getting those errors (?). See attached
Started getting data off it but it will take a while, and getting some new disks. Bear with me.
But keep in mind resetting the NAS with a different drive is only going to let you test to see if the OS is the issue, and thus a reset with the original drives may help. Once you put the original drives back in without another reset (wiping your data), you'll be running the OS from them again.
