RAX20 readyshare - intermittent speed dropped

[fredlamsf]

Hi,

 I have purchased RAX20 and using the Readyshare with my external HDD

 1. Macshare (Readshare) symption description when using Macbook Pro over 5GHz Wi-Fi

 When I am playing MP4 file from the Readyshare via VLC, I find the transfer rate will drop to 0 after 10 ~ 20 mins.

 That will cause the player hangs for 20~30 seconds, the streaming experience is not smooth.

 I have tried using the "Wireless Analysis" from Mac, it seems that is not the problem on the Mac Wi-Fi side.

 I have increased the VLC output buffer, but it does not help the situation. 

 2. Samba (Readyshare) symptiom description

 When I am connecting the Readyshare to my iPad, the drop of transfer is obvious.

  Would like to check any suggestion?

Thanks and regards,

Fred

Hi,

  Thanks.

  Even the support has contacted, there is still no solution.

  The support has told me to update to the latest firmware but my router has the said version already.

  Besides, I have tested using LAN cable to test. The symptom is still there.

  It seems that is the problem of readyshare.

Thanks and regards,

Fred

Hi,
Your CS has told me to downgrade to previous firmware and then reset as new.
Here are the steps I have done then.
1. I have downgraded the firmware to 1.0.1.58_2.0.31. Unfortunately, after I reset the router as new, it will auto upgrade back to the latest firmware 1.0.1.64. Hope that your side aware this is embarrassing.
2. Then, I just tried to downgrade the firmware to 1.0.1.58_2.0.31, but the intermittent drop of speed is still there.
Regards,
Fred
