Hi everyone,

I hope someone can help. I've had a Synology Diskstation 211j network attached storage device for many years and am now experiencing a problem.

I'd been noticing that at odd intervals, speettest.net would report very high ping rates (>500ms) and my down/up speeds would drop from 10/1 to 1/0.25.

I tired configuring my network a couple different ways until I finally realized that the problem seems to be that exactly 5 minutes after I plug the NAS into my netgear FS108 switch, my ping rockets to well over 500ms (often 900+ms) and my speeds drop. As soon as I unplug the NAS, everything returns to normal.

It is clearly an issue with the NAS.

Anyone have any thoughts?

Thanks

Gst

Start with the simple solutions first... replace the cabling. Do you have a managed switch by chance?
