RN104 Poor network performance after upgrade to firmware 6.9.3
Hi
Recently had to update to FW 6.9.3.
The ReadyNAS is now extremely slow, network wise. Browsing from Windows Explorer seems to have to wake the drive up, and when I try and copy files to it I d...
Have you checked network_settings.log for errors?
You may wish to get a gigabit switch and see if connecting the NAS to that and connecting the switch to your router works better.
Or maybe replace your router with one with gigabit ports.
Where do I find that log as it’s not listed in the admin interface
It’s nothing to do with the port. I only have 100mb ports in the house, it’s inconsistent network after the firmware update
I rebooted the NAS and it seeems to work fine for a short period then degrades however I survived to power it off from the plug to reboot. If I try reboot from the admin site it sits at rebooting forever and doesn’t come back
This firmware definitely has bugs

It's in the logs zip file that you can download. You can send in your logs if you like (see the Sending Logs link in my sig).
Hi
Thanks, I appreciate that - I'll send the logs over now
The logs are flooded with I/O errors for disk 4 (see e.g. systemd-journal.log). It looks like that disk is bad. smart_history.log shows that the ATA error count on that disk has recently climbed to 6.
Disk 3 has a current pending sector count of 1 though that was from way back in June 2015.
