If you believe that there is an issue with the unit specifically please provide me the exact reproduction steps and I will see if I can replicate the issue you see. Also please explain the issue in detail so I know what I am looking for exactly.

Hi Fatman,

Sorry if I offended any-one.  The tone might have been "too agressive". I hope this one is better. I will try to comply, and follow advice & guidelines.

However I would like to mention the following:
- Documenting a problem and its effective simple bypass ought to be helpful to someone else. (it took time, effort and risk taking [losing the data]). we hope it help repay the commuity for help found on the web.
- One can see that some users lost a lot trying to achieve different things. Their testimony helps us to be cautious and wise.
- I did not expect to find a tech originated answer on this post. It is clearly a forum.
- Deciding to upgrade to 1.06 & 1.07 was based on multiple user comments & remarks from this forum.
- When stating a lack of answer, it was to a "reported problem" to the tech support (beyond the forum). I reported the issue before exploring the forum (and after checking the knowledge base). May be "here, this forum " was not the correct location to mention it.

You didn't offend me at all, and I was trying to show that I have nothing but respect for the way you have been handling the problem.

At this point it appears I had misread your intent and my intervention was unnecessary.  I apologize.

I am a slightly socially handicapped person (what geek isn't) and I find that text often is incapable of expressing the necessary range of emotion and intensity.  I am working every day to read these things right and respond to them in a way that conveys myself properly.  Unfortunately it looks like I failed on both counts today.

My rampant use of imperial Russian geographical features (czar-chasm) is probably also not helping.  I know it is truly pun-ishing reading through my posts.

Would just like to confirm that YES the dlink NAS has some pretty sever performance issues. This is not router issues (although connected through a dlink wireless router adds a while slew of other performance issue).

For me, the issue with the NAS (hard wired to dlink router) seems to be start up.. i think the NAS goes into sleep mode when it hasn't been touched for a while.. but it is still a bit more odd than that.

sometime i can access via Win7 file browser some of the folders on the NAS (which only list a few other folders).. but then when i get to the final folder it takes much too long to open (possibly as long as a minute).

i also have a few working files  (i.e. not simply media files which i just open once - but files which are continually accessed via the app that use them).. and occaisionaly these apps will even crash due to delays in accessing their files.

i am sure it is network firmware issues in the NAS.. not sure of my f/w rev or how to upgrade.. but i guess if dlink commented that this was a known issue.. and has been fixed.. then i would look into what is involved in upgrading f/w.

Hi Palindstrom,

I believe the issue you see is not exactly the same one as mine.

If it goes to sleep, the wake-up is very clear; if you are next to the D-link, you will see/hear it wake-up. It should be a process in the vicinity of 7 to 10-15 sec max, happens once and then subsequent actions are quick.

However, unrelated, I have seen behavior which may fit your description when accessing the D-link through an old type of wireless (11 M bits/sec) with a new Vista laptop. I suspect that there was a lot of repeat on the link. The internet link status would show 100MB exchanged when I am trying to deal with a 5Mb or 10 MB file. Every other wired PC would work as usual.

Since that time, the wireless has been upgraded to a more recent & faster one, and I have not seen that behavior. What is described here is not the first issue I had in the thread (and it is still an issue). I just hope that it may help you solve your current problem.

Upgrading the firmware is not a big deal to perform, but it is a big deal to plan/decide, because you do not want anything to go wrong, and depending on your current level, you may want to read about enhancements and think about their consequences for you.

For an example, I could go back to some earlier version to solve my performance problem, and lose some Vista connectivity. Going backwards could also be risky, because untested:Most people upgrade, rather than "de-grade". !!


Good luck. I hope it helps.
