Questions about the ReadyNAS 424
I am new here and am concidering getting a Netgear ReadyNAS 424. I currentley have a Asustor AS-5004T and want to upgrade it to something better what must incldude native windows based File versioning support (Previous Versions) for SMB shares held on the NAS. My current setup is as follows, I have 2 x 6TB WD Red Pro HDD's inside my exsiting NAS box confiqured in RAID 1 along with a 4TB Red Pro drive used for weekley archiving. I also have a another 6TB WD Red Pro HDD inside my Windows 2016 Essentials rack server what acts as a backup to my main 6TB RAID 1 array. I have a few questions about the ReadyNAS 424, and hopefully those reading will be able to ansewer for me. 1) Can the RAM on the ReadyNAS 424 be upgradded, and if so to how much and what type? I have 8GB in my AS-5004T at the moment and is of the 1600MHz DDR3L SO-DIMM type. (Will 2GB be enough!? , my NAS is my main storage for daily usage and not just a backup/archive) 2) At what level does the ReadyNAS 424 support DFS and file versioning. I would like it to idealy integrate with the DFS capabilitys of Windows Server and have the 6TB drive inside my Rack Server cross syncronise the SMB shares on the ReadyNAS 424 ? 3) Does the ReadyNAS 424 support 802.3AD link aggregation? (I have a Draytek VigorSwitch P2261) 4) How reliable is the ReadyNAS 424?, I am allways having reliability isues with SMB shares shared via UPnP on my Asustor NAS box to my Denon network audio streamer that is part of my Hi-Fi. Sometimes it works fine, othertimes my Denon network audio streamer cannot see the shares on my Asustor NAS box! (All hard wired, no Wi-Fi or Mains LAN senders) 5) Does the ReadyNAS 424 support share/folder encryption what has to be unlocked by a password on starting the unit up. (In case the unit gets stolen.) Also, below suggests that ReadyNAS OS6 supports DFS, what I thought was a proprietary technology to Windows and was not available on Linux based NAS boxes? https://kb.netgear.com/23090/How-do-I-use-DFS-feature-on-the-ReadyNAS-OS-6-storage-system Lastly , anythoughts on the ReadyNAS 424 in general? Regards: Elliott.

Orbi - DFS Radar detected - no internet for 8 minutes
Hello - I have seen many posts about Orbis dropping their connection, so apologies if in my newbie enthusiasm I am duplicating a known problem. I have the RBK50 pair of Router and Satellite. I am running firmware V2.0.0.72. The RBR50 is in AP mode since it is connected to a Swisscom router/modem (I live in Switzerland). I regularly get interruptions on the network, and there seem to be more since the latest firmware upgrade. This morning I had more time to investigate, and found the following in the log [Internet connected] IP address: 192.168.1.107, Monday, September 18, 2017 09:48:25 [Internet disconnected] Monday, September 18, 2017 09:48:06 [DFS radar]Changing to DFS channel 120, Monday, September 18, 2017 09:41:53 [DFS radar]Radar found on channel 108, Monday, September 18, 2017 09:41:50 it seems to match the 10 minutes or so when nothing was working in the house I am guessing that this is the backhaul link between the satellite and router since the 5Ghz channel in use for normal connections is channel 36 Anybody else seen this? Is there a way to configure the backhaul link to not use DFS channels? Terry

R7800 and DFS Channels usage
Just installed a Netgear R7800. Seems like the most recent FW supports DFS channels. Can someone tell me the pros/cons of using these channels, say over 48, 149, or 161? I live downtown Chicago, so there is a lot of 5ghz traffic in my neighborhood. Also, any downfall to using HT160? Not sure if any of my Apple products support it or not.
