Experiencing a problem with connectivity that i would appreciate some input on. My setup is as follows:
- Netgear DGND4000 router
- WD MyCloud storage device connected to router via Ethernet cable (let's call this my NAS device)
On the NAS device, i have all my movies/series, etc. Every now and then, a family member will drop off a hard drive and ask for updates. I use a program called Beyond Compare to perform a folder compare between the NAS device and the lazy family member's hard drive. Using Beyond Compare, i then copy the new series/movies to the hard drive. The hard drive will be linked to my laptop via USB. The copy thus takes place across the wireless network, via the laptop.
The problem is that, as soon as i schedule a copy, it affects my internet browsing. Today, the sum total copied was about 30Gigs, and during that time, i could not access the internet, and when accessing router login, that was sketchy as well. As soon as i paused the copy, and restarted my browser (Chrome), i could browse the Net again. I then started one copy of a 1Gig file, and the internet connectivity immediately dropped.
Thus, my assumption is that, while copying across my LAN, i cannot browse. Normally, i start the copies and go out or do other stuff - thus, it may always have been like this.
Any ideas? The DGND4000 is a pretty decent router - is it just a case of the processor in the router being overburdened?
Going to start copying again for a while, so will check this thread a bit later.
