What’s the reason the NAS gets so slow over the network and nearly freezes when copying files or work from it?
I am in the right IP with the 2.5 GbE Network but then longer I use it the slower it gets every so often. Then I have to disconnect and connect it again to have the full speed. I don’t have Ethernet connected. It feels so laggy, is that normal or do I do something wrong?
#1 Would be not connecting via Ethernet. When you’re on Wi-Fi the Wi-Fi controller will self-throttle to conserve energy (battery). This requires requires a change in user approach, i.e. connect via Ethernet, tweak your computer’s Wi-Fi stuff (setting in the OS), etc…
#2 Would be if the unit is doing indexing, which can take a very long time depending on your setting and the volume of data involved. This will self-resolve once it finishes the task.
Ethernet is much faster than WIFI. But you mention you’re not on Ethernet but show 2.5GbE? What is the unit really on? Don’t understand that part. WIFI is much slower and has constant adjustments to the data speeds due to distance.
I am on a MacBook and opened in the browser and finder over the LAN 5 IP which is the 2,5gbe line. But if I turn off wifi its not working super wired and looks like it prefers the LAN 1 for some reason.
What we tell our customers. Never use router or switches to setup LAN. As old static addresses are locked in. Use PC direct connect to NAS only for IP setups.
