I did contact Synology but it's an older model out of warranty and apparently they don't have a repair shop. I did try the troubleshooting steps you mentioned. The problem is, it's not like a normal NIC card that you can replace, it is built into the unit and no easy way to swap out as you...

Anyone?

My 2nd NIC went bad on my DS214+. It's way out of warranty and there doesn't appear to be a way to easily swap out the NIC card since it is built in. Anyone ever been able to fix something like this?

Might be power supply, I ran wireless diagnostic on my Mac and chose the least used channels based off the results. Here is my current setup: I am trying to post a new wireless diagnostics output but I will have to attach it later after it completes. Taking too long and it is almost 1:00 in...

Thanks for the recommendations. Is Voxel similar to something like DDWRT? I used to run WRT on an old Linksys router and it was an amazing frontend with tons of functionality.

Bought a Nighthawk X4S R7800 based upon reviews here. Had it now for a couple years, problem is lately I am noticing it dropping connections. Most recently observed with a Chromecast device and a Samsung TV. Attached both devices to a very old Apple AirPort Extreme and they work fine with no...

Hello! I have a home network and want to tinker around with it and learn about network security. I would like to install a firewall device between my external router and internal router gateway ---> firewall ---> router ---> snort ---> switch ---> NAS, Syslog server...

I assume you are using a hardwired connection? .

NTM, can't thank you enough for your input. I understand how this works and now will be able to make a informed decision as to what I need to purchase. Like you said earlier, looks like the cheaper DS210j will meet my needs. Might think about the more expensive DS210+ or DS710+ for later...

To make sure I understand correctly, even though N runs at roughly 100 Mb/s the 210+ which reads at 108 Mb/s and writes at 58 MB/s would not come close to these posted speeds over wireless N? What is the reason for it? The added overhead of the packets necessary to communicate from laptop to...

I figured out I have a wireless bottleneck. I am currently using G but could upgrade to N in the future. Should I stick with the 710+ or the less expensive 210+? The 210+ operates around the 50-60 MB/s range I believe. Thanks again for the help .

Thanks, you guys are very helpful. I was researching the 710+ based on comments above and it looks like a good option especially since it beats the QNAP TS-239 and is cheaper. I've heard good things about Synology. Does anyone have experience with the 710+? I read some reviews of it being...

Thanks for the reply. Are the features between the Synology and the QNAP similar? Is the QNAP worth the extra $100+ dollars.

Thinking to figure out if I should purchase a Synology DS210+ or a Quad TS-239 Pro II. Looking for good throughput and reliability. Any recommendations? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the info. I was looking at the DNS-323 because it seems that there is a large support community. Is the 209 that much better than the 210? Worth the $90 extra bucks? Any other solutions around the $200 - $300 price range that I should check out? Thanks in advance for the help!
