So it looks like im at the same point as most.
I have a very standard home network with 2 hardwired PC's (1 Vista and 1 XP) and 1 Vista Laptop on wireless.
Wireless network is running at 54Mb
All systems and internet run fine. I also have a shared network drives in both the hardwired PC's.
Accessing these from the laptop is great, very fast and on windows task manager in the networking tab shows on avaerage that when i access pic's and vids its about 16-18% of network utilization sometimes upto 22%.
When accessing the NAS i've never seen it get over 1%. Its completly unusable. Tried all the MTU setting and also made sure my wireless is on WPA2 AES.
I got this unit so that i can do away with the network drive and have everything in one place and then also a backup copy via the raid system. I had then also hoped to expand my Netgear units so we can access vids and pics on the TV and in the internet. Not sure now thats going to be my plan.
Why would this NAS not opperate as i according to the netgear sales pitch is should do..........Its getting very frustraighting.
If anyone can offer any help, advise or pointers that would be great.
Cheers B.
