RN102 disappears from network
I got it this spring, but since I ran into some issues with the setup at the time and didn't have time to troubleshoot it then, I haven't made a concerted effort to setting it up until this last week...
Hi. Can you try 6.5.2 Beta?

Tried the beta. Would that include a factory reset again?
I haven't done that yet, but: after installing 6.5.2 beta and rebooting it stopped responding to FTP after about 3 minutes of file transfers. I can no longer ping it either, so just the firmware upgrade made no difference.
Marking as "solved" - well, at least worked-around. So far it appears that if I limit myself to using FTP, and enforce rate limits (presently 1500kB/s*), it appears to be stable. I have been able to run file transfers continuously for over 15 minutes now, which is a first.
Tomorrow morning I'll experiment with SMB and a Windows system, and my Linux system with NFS, to see if the Linux implementation of SAMBA is to blame. Speaking of that, is there a way to get the NAS to enforce rate limits for other protocols than FTP?
*I also tried 2000kB/s, but then the NAS admin page disabled FTP on me. What is the highest permitted speed? Seems to be somewhere between 1500 and 2000kB/s.
Well, the lower speed worked better - 10 hours instead of 2-10 minutes, but it just disappeared again. Time to open a formal support case, I guess.
