ReadyNAS 214 is not reconnected after windows sandby or hybernation state
Hi all,
Ever since I bought and installed this nas it is up and running as a smooth machine.
For about 10 days or so there are problems reconnecting to the nas when windows (8.1) wakes up from standby or hybernation state. Error message: "Unable to reconnect to <drive-mapping>
This can only be solved by rebooting my laptop. This is very anoying.
I searched some days on te internet for an answer but found none.
The readynas is connected to a Netgear R6200 wifi router and from there with 4 laptops.

Never ran Windows 8, so can't tell you exactly how to get there, but try this: Go to Computer Management/Device manger. In Network adapters right-click on the adapter and select properties. Then on the Power Management tab, uncheck the "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power".
I don't think that will help with hybernation, but should with standby.

Imho you should not use hibernation at all.
- Rebooting got so fast with ssd (assuming you have that) > you dont need to hibernate instead.
- Waking up from hibernation successfully expects the workstation to be exactly in that condition as it was when going into hibernation > the slightest change increases probability to confuse the machine and fail to properly wake up.
- Allowing hibernation for your workstation will also generate a huge file on your ssd occupying some diskspace as large as your ram needs to be copied to when going to hibernate. Imagine you have 16GB ram and a 256GB ssd. Then hibernation would occupy about 6.25% of the available space on your ssd. Because it is doing nothing else than creating a snapshot of your ram and simply writing it to your ssd.
