New Router - Can't find NAS
Hi there, I bought a Netgear router yesterday, because my previous router did not work anymore. My actual router is a Netgear "Nighthawk" Router AC1900 Smart Wifi, Model R7000. I have a "Livebox" (equivalent to a modem I guess - as I live in France and have a French ISP). The Livebox's ip address is: 192.168.1.1 Don't think it's relevant, but I have 5 computers, running windows (XP, 7, 8 and 10). Some computers also run on linux (mint and ubuntu). Previous setting: The Livebox was at its above mentionned ip address (192.168.1.1) My former router's ip address was: 192.168.2.1. My gigabit nas station & usb 3.0 5gbps NAS' ip address was: 192.168.2.5 My Brother MFC-9970CDW printer's ip address was 192.168.2.7. It all worked seamlessly until the old router packed up. Current settings: The livebox modem's ip address remains the same (192.168.1.1) The netgear router's current ip address is: 192.168.1.37 (set as access point) Using brother's troubleshooting software, I have successfully connected my printer, though a new ip address was given: 192.168.1.235. I cannot connect, despite my numerous attemps, to my "gigabit nas station & usb 3.0 5gbps NAS". I've changed the Netgear Router's address to 192.168.2.1, but did not find my NAS on the given statique address (192.168.2.5). So I hard reset my Netgear router, as I could not access it with the newly given ip address. I set it back to the automatique address: 192.168.1.37 (access point mode). I no longer have the box, the java software NAS finder (palava). I don't want to press the NAS' reset button, by fear of erasing the data on the disk and the assigned disk/users space. I haven't got a clue of how to change my NAS' ip address. Can somebody help me with this issue? Kind RegardsSolved11KViews0likes4CommentsConnecting NAS to Orbi Satellite
We use Mac and Windows computers in my home. I just bought Orbi Router and Satellite and want to know how to mount a QNAP NAS via Orbi Satellite. Prior to using Orbi, I was using Apple Extreme and in this case all I used to do was on my Apple iMac, go to Finder>Go>Connect-to-server and input the following: afp://192.168.1.6. This process is however not working when I connect my QNAP to the Orbi Satellite via Ethernet and then on my Apple iMac I go to Finder>Go>Connect-to-server and input the following: afp://192.168.1.6. Am I doing something wrong? Would appreciate any assistance on this.Plex and my readynas 102 and access

I tough is a storage unit I can access thru my network without needing internet, maybe I'm doing something completely wrong here.. Thanks all for stopping bySolved8.6KViews0likes11CommentsPerformance/Admin Page Access - Does available disk space affect access to the ReadyNas
Hi, I have a ReadyNAS NV+ and it has been running well for a while. A while back, I got a warning about the fan failing so I took the NAS out of commission for a while and got a replacement fan. I also got warnings about increasing bad sectors on one of the drives so I replaced it. I use the NAS as intermediate storage for my acronis images taken from my servers. I can't remember at what point, but my jobs began to take way longer to complete than they previously. I think it was after I replaced the drive which a WD10EFRX - WD Red 1TB NAS Hard Disk Drive. My backups literally take 4 times as long to complete. I replaced the 2nd drive with an identical WD10EFRX - WD Red 1TB NAS Hard Disk Drive drive and it still slower than it was previously. Unfortunately, I can't find the original drives that I had installed in the unit when it was initially provisioned. Both of the disks are healthy according to the NAS, but performance is still slow. I updated the firmware on the NAS. There is nothing in the logs apart from the occasional volume running out of space, which is normal in my situation. The NAS is connected to a 1Gb/s full duplex port. At one point I connected the NAS directly to the same switch that the servers are connected, however I saw no speed difference. There are 2 drives in a Raid 1 configuration. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.Solved7.7KViews0likes25Commentspassword recovery fails
Hello all, I cannot log in to my ReadyNAS, and after putting the correct recovery details (email and recovery answer) - it says: Recover Password Failed. I haven't been receiving emails from the NAS for months, and right now my internet is also down (using a hotspot to write this post). This was annoying before, but now the situation is a bit urgent... The only thing I can think of is that it's possible that the router address may have changed so the NAS cannot get to the internet. Does this sound like a possibility to you guys? As the physical reset button wasn't configured originally, that reset option isn't available to me when I go to the password recovery page. So I don't want to press that button at the back in case I lose data. Is there a way to recover the password based on these limitations? Many thanks, AaronSolved7.6KViews0likes3Comments1GbE speeds over 10GbE connections? MacOS
I was wondering if anyone is having this same expereince. I have a new 626x, all drives filled, x-raid, connected to a Netgear XS708E 10GbE router, and I'm getting very slow speeds over 10GbE. Not even 90MBs. I was getting better speeds though my Pioneer Pro. My mac is connected to the router though a Promise Technolgy Sanlink2 by thunderbolt. I know I have to tinker with the settigs on each device to get the best performance, but it shouldn't be this slow, should it? Any advice would be appreciated.Solved6.4KViews0likes13CommentsPlex not showing movie images R9000 x10 or scanning media files for more than one library
I saw that someone previously had a similar, if not the same issue. Their write-up is as follows: " Just setting up Plex on my R9000, connected USB 3 thumbdrive (32GB), and usin g my NAS as storage for my movies. But no image/poster is beeing downloaded, all movies are just grey boxes. Info and so on working fine, but only images not working. Is there a solution for this, working fine when I used my NAS as mediaplayer." In my issue, I have a server set up on my laptop that interfaces with my NAS just fine. However, my laptop is not ideal for streaming movies for several reasons (one being that my PS4 Pro and the router both use 5G and my laptop does not. But I digress) Anyway, I got the new firmware update that allows you to set up a Plex server on the router that uses an NAS. I purchased a 128G Samsung USB3.0 thumb drive, plugged it into the router and opened the Plex server. I added multiple directories into multiple libraries, but the server will only detect movies in one library. Also, in that library, media is matched and the info is working, but the artwork is not present (nor can I add artwork with the upload custom artwork function.) This issue is marked solved on a previous thread, with the solution being listed as: "Solution is formatting to "OS X Extended (Journaled)", not working with FAT32 or EXFAT." I have no idea what that means. Reformat the NAS? (I definitely won't be deleting 12tb of media for a reformat.) Or is it talking about reformatting the USB? If so, how would I go about that? I am very confused and frustrated with this whole process.Solved6.1KViews0likes6Comments
problem with netgear R6100 ReadyShare with WD My Book 2TB to Sony TV and PS3
I have recently upgraded my Router from a lynksis wirless N router to a Netgear Wireless AC 1200 (R6100). With it I purchased a WD My Book 2 TB HDD for use as a NAS Device. Everything was working fine until about a week ago I had some trouble uploading a file from my Win10 PC to the drive via the network. Afterwords I could not access the drive from any of my families 3 windos PC's (Win 7SP2, 8.1, and 10). I could still acces the drive via DLNA through my Sony Bravia and my PS3. I did a power cycle of my modem and router and from then on I could access the drive from my computers but not through the Sony TV or PS3. I have removed the corrupted file from the drive, as well as the previous upload (law and order season 20). I have cycled the power on my WD Drive as well as edited all of the network settings through the netgear genie, the TV and the PS3. I have not reformated the drive since I don't have the space on my computer for all of the files (1.6TB worth of files, 500GB free space on my PC). Any help would be apreciated. *Netgear StreamPro AC1200 ---Model No. R6100 ---Router Firmware Version V1.0.0.60 *Sony Bravia TV ---Model No. XBR-65x850B ---Software Version PKG2.303AAA *Western Digital My Book 2TB External HDD ---Model No. WDBF JK0020HBK-NESNSolved
Bei Neustart SSH Port wieder zurückgesetzt, aber wieso?
Hallo Ich habe einen NAS RN10200 und bin sehr glücklich damit. Er fungiert als Backupsystem für meine Onlineserver. Doch seit dem ich das Softwareupdate auf 6.7.4 gemacht habe, stehe ich in einen Bereich mit ihm auf Kriegsfuss. Bei jedem Neustart setzt er meinen extra geänderten SSH Port wieder zurück. Das mag ich nicht, denn der Mensch sagt der Maschine was sie tun soll und nicht umgekehrt. Wie kann ich den Port ändern, ohne das er ständig zurück gesetzt wird?
