Linkstation Duo - LS-WX1.0TL/R1 - very slow write

[spwilko]

I have a duo (just over a year old) which has recently been incredibly slow for all connected pcs (vista and win7).

 

It writes at less than 50kb/sec (yes, ouch)

 

It has 1.56 firmware and hasn't had any recent config changes.

Read speed is ok (a few mb/sec).  

 

When I go to the firmware page and check for new updates it says it's on the latest.

 

Any advice would be great, thanks

Sorry, this is no advice but I have the same problem. Till to the last week I got up to 2500 kb/s!!! and then suddently only 100 kb/s. First I thought about a network misconfiguration than about a disk crash in the Linkstation but all signal lights show normal operation.

 

What did I do?
My LS-WXL has now the latest firmware 1.63.
I formatted both HD.

I restored to original settings.

I connected it directly to my pc.

Result: Transferspeed remains very very slow, about 100 kb/s.

I would like to take a look in the system log-files, but its impossible to make a login with putty/telnet because the admin user will not work on login and the password of the root user is unknown. I don't want to hack the system, but there must be a legal way to get more information about what causes the problem.
So any useful help would be really apreciated.

Sorry for my bad english, but it's not my native language

can you post linkstations network settings screen shot?

Problem nearly solved.

I used both disks via usb/sata adapter to connect to a pc with ubuntu. Smart-meter gives me no problems on both disks.
After reformatting the disks with NTFS (takes about 4 hours per disk) everythig will work fine with hight speed (15000 KB/s) with usb/sata adapter.
But writing on disk1 will stop after about 50 GB with "Disk is full error". So I will replace disk1 in future and will check again.

Interesting is that the check disk function in the web interface will (probably) use only the smart-meter values where no errors are detectable. 

By the way, this has nothing to do with the network settings. I will use fixe IP and tried it with normal package size and different jumbo-packages with the same result.

Thank you to all trying to help.
