Slow Running RN104
Hi All,
My RN104 is driving me crazy and I hope someone can help!!!
I have two issues that might be related. Firstly a little background I used to use a NV+2 system that was great howeve...
Sorry I forgot to add - PC linked to NAS through NetGear 5 port ethernet switch.
ReadyNAS is running most upto date firmware 6.9.3

What model switch are you using?
Is the NAS RAID array fully synced, or is that still in process?
Do you have only one ethernet cable from the NAS to the switch? If you are using both, what bonding mode did you configure?
Hi - thanks for the response.
The ethernet switch is a NETGEAR GS105UK 5-Port Gigabit Unmanaged Ethernet Switch. I only have one ethernet cable connected from the NAS tot he switch. Looks a bit scary to add a second!!!
One thing I did try last night - again after the frustration of another stuttering film viewing try - I copied a 4.5Gb film off the NAs back onto the HTPC. This was achieved in less than five minutes! However when you look at the copying bandwidth it sometimes drops to either a very low values or completely stops!!! I believe it is these drop offs/hlats that are killing the film streaming. This would also explain the file copying retry issues etc I have seen and the NAS Performance Tester utility also failing with "unexpected Network Error"

So I need to find out why the
Hi Thanks for the responses.
A bit more info
The NAS is currently sync'd so no performance sapping operations are running
The disks are configured a X RAID.
One thing I have not tried is a memory test - not sure if this is really the issue. Also still not sure no Apps can be installed. Again not sure if this is linked.
Cheers Simon
