MacOS Sierra, Ubiquiti Unifi AP-AC Lite and ReadyNAS 202 - disk stops being available

Hi folks. After booting up I can successfully back up each Mac (all running Mac OS Sierra) to my ReadyNAS 202 using Time Machine. However, subsequent automatic backups fail with "Backup disk not availble". If I restart any one of the Macs then it's able to connect. I suspect that it's a wifi issue - and may be related to the Ubiquiti access points. These are connected to my router (Virgin Media cable modem router) and distributed across the house. Any thoughts on why the connection to the NAS is being lost?

Hello smcoll,

 

It may be best to isolate the problem first since you are running wireless on the Mac machines. Try connecting one of them via LAN cable to the router/switch where the NAS is connected and disable the machine's wireless connection. Then test again. Please also post the current firmware version of the NAS.
