Screenshot as requested, nothing but a big white void where the performance charts should be.

I think it could be due to ARM chipset firmwares do not have the performance chart option as we use the same firmware file for RN102 / RN104 / RN202 / RN204 / RN212 / RN214 / RN2120 .

anna_arun - I assumed as much - the question remains though: Why isn't this enabled on the 214? It's got more than enough CPU power and memory to handle any sort of increased demand that real-time performance charts would require (iotop when running, shows negligible CPU usage) .

The performance graphs are available on our business class ReadyNAS products. We have graphs for Volume Throughput, Network Throughput, Volume Utilisation and Temperature. CPU usage is not one of these.

Thanks mdgm - So this is a business decision by Netgear to not provide performance graphs on the prosumer model NAS devices? If you look at the comparison chart of the RN210 vs the RN300 provided by Netgear's pre-sales marketing, there is absolutely no mention of anything of the sort.
