How do i do a Speed Test?
My ReadyNas 212 is running extremely slow. Last time i just did the update and it solved the problem. But this time there is no update. My Antivirus is off and it has been working very fast recently....
If you have a Windows PC, I suggest using NAStester ( http://www.808.dk/?code-csharp-nas-performance )
Where do i find that file?
Go into the web ui, and download the log zip (the download logs control is on the logs tab).
Also, I'd look for network errors in network_settings.log.
You could also look for errors in system.log and kernel.log (around the time of the glacial pdf transfer).
I don't see any erros in those logs. The readycloud.log had hundreds of errors, but not sure if that is linked to the slowness? I don't need access to the cloud as much as i need my local network to be functional and fast. Thank you so much for taking the time to help me out, i'm a little bit of a noob when it comes to the NAS.
You could try temporarily disabling ReadyCloud and see if that solves the performance issue.
So just running through some of the more obvious issues that could be causing my slow speeds, i switched out the Cat 5e to a Cat 6 and these were the speeds i got. The ones before were going as low as 10mb/s. So hopefully i had a faulty cable. I will continue to runs the speed test and see what i am getting on the new cable.
