Slow internet speed
I have a ReadyNAS 312 and currently have the ReadyCloud app v1.19 running on my system. I am the only user of the ReadyNAS and use it for backup and storage. When the app is indexing or uploading f...
Yes, my Surface is able to reach the internet but it takes a very long time to load a web page. It's like I'm on dial up.

With files changing all the time, the app is in constant index & upload so it takes a very long time for my internet speed to return. Interestingly, I can stream TV on my Roku TV without any issues.
