Tried the flow control and still getting the issue.  My mac computer is alwasy able to connect and hold a connection but the 3 windows computers all have disconnection issues and are usually not able to connect for a few min every half hour.

      You could possibly try using the SMB plus to configure the NAS to use older SMB protocols.

        why would it only affect the windows computers though?  And how do I configure the SMB plus?
