ReadyNAS 426 Windows cannot access my NAS Error code: 0x80070035
Hello friends, I hope you're all keeping safe! (I'm also hoping enough are able to be online to help me with my questions!) I am having some serious network issues; my NAS becomes inaccessible on...
If ssh is enabled, you could try installing iperf on the NAS and the PC, and then check the network independently from the disks.
Okay, continued thanks. I'm reading up on ssh.
I've downloaded and installed iperf3 on this PC. So far I don't see any articles about how to install it on my NAS.
I would like to add that I'm experiencing slow network copy from PC to PC as well as NAS to PC, so is it a NAS problem?
Or remove your current disks (labeling by slot), and to a fresh install on to a spare/scratch disk. Then benchmark that.
Could you exand on this please? Are you talking about removing disks from a NAS? Spare/scracth disk...sorry you lost me there. Thanks again

Log in as root, and enter:
# apt-get install iperf3
You'll need to run it from ssh, so you'd want to keep the ssh window open when you run it on the PC.

Yes. The idea is to power down, and remove all the disks from your NAS. Label them by slot number as you remove them. Then insert a different disk and do a factory install with it (this will format the disk, so you will lose everything on it).
Then run NasTester again, and see if the speeds are different.
When done, you power down again, and insert the original disks in their original slots, and power up.
Well StephenB, I'm already in over my head so this will take some study. I'm trying to make the questions less dumb as I go along, so please bear with me.
Before I go on:
Could you comment for me about my suspicions about Windows 10 Update and security? Could these be involved? Should I take them off my list of suspects?
Also I'd like to point out again that this slowness is not just involving the NAS; I have the same slowness copying between PCs on the network. Would this not point to a network issue rather than a NAS issue?
Thank you for helping this poor noob.

Yes. Or maybe a virus checker on the PC.

I didn't realize it was happening between the PCs too.
Antivirus or internet security software is a possible cause. And it could be a network issue.
Are you also seeing slow speeds when browsing the internet?
Thanks you guys, for helping with this.
My internet speeds seem fine, we stream tv at night without probs, everything seems to be working.
Right now my list of suspects is
Windows Security:
-anti-virus, whatever else is stock with win10
Windows Update:
-I have noticed network problems happening around the same time updates happen.
My hardware:
-Seems like I'm going to have to start testing everything, one switch at a time.
Any insights or comments you can share would be greatly appreciated. Be well, be safe

If it was stock, then I'd be seeing it on my own PCs.

Maybe power down everything except the NAS, one PC, the switches and the router? Then retest?
Yes, thanks, StephenB. I'm currently tracing all my network cabling....I found some CAT 5 which is not good. Once I get everything sorted out and labeled properly, I'll start isolating parts and speed checking with iperf.
Can you expand on what you were saying about installing/running iperf on a NAS? Even a helpful link would be nice.
I hope you continue to stay safe, thanks as always.

You'd enable ssh on the NAS, and then log into the NAS using either the ssh client built into Windows or using putty. https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/latest.html
Either way, you log in as root, using the admin password. Then you'd install iperf3 using the command I posted above.
There is no GUI for it, so you'd need to run it via the linux command line. Some explanation on the commands is here: https://www.tecmint.com/test-network-throughput-in-linux/ But don't use the installation commands in that link.
Friends, thanks for all the help. Sorry I took so long to get back to you!
I ended up replacing all my cabling, but I really think the main suspect was bleeping Windows updates. I can't prove it.
But I'm not having that problem anymore (knock on wood).
I'm going to accept as solution this thread so we can put it to rest.
I have another problem happening now! It's in a new thread, I hope to see you there. Be safe, be well. peace
