DI-624 wireless and gigabit router
The DI-624 seems to perform just fine with the ReadyNas Ultra 2. At first, I had a lot of problems. There were network hiccups in connecting to the nas, especially noticeable when trying to play mp3's from a share. The connection would drop out for a second or 2 every minute or so... But this was apparently due to my original setup, which had an additional (Gigabit) switch between the NAS and the router. This was my original setup : |---------- D-Link DGS-1005D (Green ethernet) switch ----------- NAS DI-624 router ----| |----------- Client PC I now connected the NAS directly to the router, and all problems are gone. Does anyone have experience with this ? I still find it a bit strange that (with the switch in the path) there are hiccups in the connection. All connections (cables, network cards, switch, router,...) are Gigabit ethernet connections, so I would have thought that an additional switch would not make any difference in streaming low-bitrate mp3's from the NAS... Anyway, it works now, so I'm a happy man !
D-LINK DIR-655
I have recently purchased a readNAS ultra 4 and set it up on the network... At first all seemed to be well, however I have not been able to get time machine backups to work well. When I first activated time machine via the checkbox in the readNAS website control page, I was able to connect with my mac (running os 10.6.8). However, the connection is lost before the backup can complete... This happens both through wireless and ethernet connections to the router. Maybe it's worth noting that I can connect to the afp shares without issues... I directly connected to the readNAS via ethernet and everything works flawlessly so I am assuming that this means that there is an issue with the router... I haven't been able to see anyone else posting with this problem so I am wondering if anyone has had issues with the d-link dir-655 ?? I hope this doesn't mean I have to go buy a new router to use time machine! thanks for anyone's comments!
