hi all. the other day i bought a d link dns-345 share center nas server. After installing it and plugging it all up i noticed my write speed to the NAS was only 10mb/s. I was wondering if i could make this faster or if i have plaugged it up wrong and thats why its so slow im pretty avaerage when it comes to networking so im not sure where to go from here

the nas server is plugged into a wireless modem router(connected to the internet) and and then the moden router connects to my computer via enthernet cable. i was also wodering if i could make a direct connection straight from the nas to my computer(the nas has 2 enthernet ports could i use 1 for the moden and one just from transfere beetween my computer and the nas) would that speed up my transfere rates?

any help would be muchlu appriciated Found this on the hunt for info... different model but same issue... http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=11263.0


I actually had a Netgear NAS and sold mine because I wasnt impressed with the speed. I expected better performance from mine which was 10/100 which I purchased without drives and installed two 500GB SATA drives into it. I was getting better performance out of the 500GB drives attached via USB 2.0, so I sold the NAS without the drives and used them externally through USB.

Had I had a need for multiple users to access it I THINK I would have just added a 500GB drive to a system that is always on and add a share which would have been better. I bought mine because I thought it was cool and fast, it ended up being uncool and slow.do you tin my speeds wold go up if plug the lan 1 and lan 2 ports from the NAS into the hub (23 and 24 ports are combo 1000mb/s ports). then could i plug another enthernet cable going from the hub to my router and then one last enthernet cable to go from the hub directly to my pc. sorry for the bad explanation lol

[recovering disk space, attachment deleted by admin]might look somthing like this when its done

[recovering disk space, attachment deleted by admin]I'd connect the CAT5 cable, just to test the uplink speed to the 24port switch from the NAS you have there and see if it uplinks as 10 or uplinks as 100 and reply back. Plug LAN1 on the NAS to port 1 on the switch with nothing ELSE attached to the switch... we just want to see what it uplinks as?

I think that model might show yellow for 10 and green for 100i connected the LAN1 on the nas to port 24 on the hub( the LED's show a orange and green light for port 24). When i connect port 1 to my computer the led"s for port one both light up green(still only transferring at 10mb/s... is that what you wanter to knowIs it just me or am i the only person who thinks its ridiculous to sell something that holds potentially 12TB's of data has both movie's and music streaming inbuilt but only transfers data at 10mb/s? just saying lolQuote
