    DS212 Intermittent LAN

    Update.... Apologies for the delay in responding: I went on an e-Bay Auction Watch to source a used replacement DS. I picked up a nice and clean DS213+ at a good price so all good on that front. I have migrated my drives into the DS213+ and have full access. Migration was an absolute breeze...

    DS212 Intermittent LAN

    Update: I was able to get into the Diskstation today. It stayed up OK for long enough for me to get the data I needed off it. While it was up, I copied the files from /var/logs. I noticed the entries in the messages log file at around the 45 second mark on the last occasion when the LAN did...

    DS212 Intermittent LAN

    All LEDs except LAN work as expected. When the system is accessible, the LAN LED is bright, green and flashing. The green LED on the RJ45 port is on constantly. When the device becomes inaccessible, the LAN LED on the front panel is dim, but not totally dark, and the RJ45 LED remains on. I have...

    DS212 Intermittent LAN

    My DS-212 has become inaccessible due to a problem with the RJ-45 port. It contains 2 * 2 TB drives set up as a straight 4TB volume. I also have a DS-209 and a DS-207+ from earlier Synology investments. Can I pop the drives out of the DS-212, put them into either of the earlier devices and...

    DS212 Intermittent LAN

    Thanks Tim, The problem is definitely with the DS-212. I've used multiple routers/switches and many different cables connecting to the DS, and it fails every times regardless of the cables/switches used. I was hoping to identify some of the circuitry that would impact/cause Intermittent LAN...

    DS212 Intermittent LAN

    Hi A newbie here, so please be gentle ;-) My DS212 started dropping its LAN connections a few days ago. It started as an intermittent problem that would occasionally be put right by a hard restart. However, now LAN only comes online rarely, and then only for seconds to minutes before...
