RN104 extreemly slow data speed
Hi there! I installed ny Netgear RN104 with 2 disks (room for 2 more) in my network (all cables, no wifi) to my iMac (OS 10.7.5). It works - sort of: the data transfer is extreemly slow, it w...
Hi Stephen,
Thanks for answering
>Have you measured speed using both of these ways (SMB should show up as smb: in finder)?
In the finder I get three icons:
- readynas
- ReadyNAS (AFP)
- ReadyNAS (SMB)
If I copy a file to one of the disks (?), it will show up also in the two other disks (?).
Could one of this 'disks' be the ReacyCLOUD? That would explain the slow data-transfer (my upload-speed to the internet is very low).
If so, how do I turn it off?
>Also, have you tried turning the antivirus service off?
Yes, it's off.
Thanks again!
regards,
Rob

None of these are "disks", and none of them are "readycloud" either.
The first one is for Time Machine.
AFP: Apple File Protocol, and SMB: Server Message Block Protocol. Both are ways to access shares - that is all.You can enable both AFP and SMB for the same share. http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/20901/~/accessing-the-readynas-from-apple-os-x
Try accessing via SMB and time the transfer speed.
Did the op resolve this problem as I am experiencing similar? https://community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS/Readynas-102-connection-problem-with-Apple-Macs/td-p/1034635
Hi barryd,
The problem might be related to SMB performance issue when AV is enabled. Let's wait for OPs response and see what the real problem is.
Kind regards,BrianL
NETGEAR Community TeamHi,
I'm getting something like this & my 104 (6.2.5 with 4x Seagate 4Gb disks - Raid5 - about 3.5 Tb used) is six feet away from this Mac Mini (OSX 10.9.5) on a Gb network
Really annoying.
It seems to cache previously opened folders & show directory , but very very slow to open new ones.
Also disconnects oddly & intermittently from all our Macs
Although all outgoing from the 104 is fine
Trying to do some library work, filing, tidying is hopeless!
I'll have to copy the data to another disk & rearrange then copy back.....So, not so good Netgear
Any possible ideas or fixes please?
Simon
