RN214 File transfers stall
RN214 - Firmware 6.8.0 I have just bought a new RN214 to replace my old RND2000. I have fitted two 4TBWestern Digital Caviar Red Disks, powered up, raid is setup, I can access the Admin Page - s...
Finally got the Laptop Operating system re-installed & NAS works fine now.
Sorry for the delay. The problem was with the Win7 instalation not the NAS..!!
Yes the LCD display on the NAS shows a message saying 'Nerwork Changed"..??
The only things on the Nework are One Laptop (Panasonic CF-53 Toughbook, Win7), the Router (Netcomm N900), & the 2 NAS units. So its a small simple network. - the ip Addresses are all different.
The fault seems to have worsened - Explorer locks up - I am unable to cancel a failed transfer & explorer crashes. (Win7 restart required)
I am beginning to suspect a corupted file within windows, and the timing with the new NAS may be coincidence - though I have only had the problem once with the old NAS, and every time with the new one.
I have done a Clean restart, and it has made no difference.
Perhaps it is time to dig out the Win7 disks.

No - the error on the LCD has nothing to do with Win7.
Things to try next:
- use the other NIC port on the NAS (if you have both connected, disconnect one of them).
- try a different ethernet cable
- Try a different LAN port on your router
If those fail, contact support - you might need an RMA.
- Thanks for the reply - I am working 12 hour shifts at the moment.
Next days off I will give it a try.
Apologies for the ongoing delay..!!
Laptop Hard drive failed & I am away from home. I am currently limited to an Android tablet.
hope to get back to Fault Finding ASAP. but perhaps another week.
