Hi fellow dlinkers,
I'm stumped at the moment, as my DNS343 seems to freezing/pausing and running slowly.
I have a home network set up, with several pc's around the house, some XP, Vista and Win7, as well as a couple of xbox360's. All the pcs are exhibiting the same result, if I play a video off the dns343, it's very slow to open and then every 10 seconds or so picture stops, the sound keeps going, then eventually the picture stutters and speeds up to sync again. Obviously making videos unwatchable.
The xbox360 is stranger, over UPNP AV, I can see the dns343, all the folders are there. When I open a folder that has videos, it says no videos found (or something like that)
So yesterday I reset the dns343 back to factory default settings, in the hope this may fix things, but still the same issues. Left it off over night, and tried again today, still same result. Powered down everything today before trying, including router and switch. I've had the dlink set up for atleast 6 months, and nothing has changed on my home network AFAIK. Also tried streaming a movie from pc to pc, and that works fine.
Tried copying files as well. Read speeds were around 22mb, copying to a Vista machine, file copied across no probs first time. Second attempt at a read was coasting through a 26mb, then stalled at half way, and kept stalling with the speed saying 16mb, but was obviously stopped at several points (both 700mb files). Write speeds started at around 10mb, but then stuttered and stalled, by the end saying 2.3mb.
According to the dlink all the drives are ok.
Some info on my set up:
4 x 1tb Western Digital Caviar Green Power WD10EACS-00D6B0 (43% of space used)
Raid 5
Running at around 44 degrees celcius
There are no user accounts or passwords set for sharing
Firmware 1.03b60 (latest version available on Australian dlink site)
So my question is what do I try next?
