DNS-323 Network Storage

[Deavenger]

slow is bcoz bottleneck by the wireless, wireless is slower than wired, that's a fact. If u connect by cable direct to the router will be fast fast. If you have a gigabit router will be fastest fastest.

Ok.. finally got the 323.. now thinking if i should upgrade to 10 /100/1000.... will it make alot of difference??

Gigabit is definitely the way to go.

Gigabit is definitely the way to go.

when i plug in the rj45 cable.. my transfer speed is avg 9 mb /sec

however if on my 10/100 smc wireless -n ..its 600kb / s..

what speed can i expect on a 10/ 100 / 1000??

around 20 to 22?

around 20 to 22?

20 - 22 mb?? on wireless??

that better then me using the rj cable!!!

 

[richneo]

20 - 22 megabytes per second or around 160mbps to 180mbps on gigabit lan

gigabit lan as in using the rj cable??

 

[richneo]

using cat5e or cat 6 cable with rj45 heads connected to a 1000mbps switch or router

... Equation need to balance ...

Router/Switch - gigabit supported on used ports, check
Destination (NAS) - gigabit supported , check
Source (PC/Notebook/other storage device) - gigabit supported, check

If one of the above is uncheck.... don't expect gigabit throughput performance between the source and destination, scale down to the worse bandwidth. Also your Ethernet cable must be either CAT5E or CAT6.... not CAT5.

e.g
Notebook with 802.11b wireless network card/inbuilt-> less than 11Mbps(theoretical max)->Wireless Gigabit Router-> less than 11Mbps-> NAS with gigabit network port.

Important note: It applies to one's own internal/home network, not the internet....

Anyway, any further question about gigabit ethernet , post them at Internet Bandwidth & Networking Clinic.

after awhile..a message shows..

check hard disk...

and the fonts still dun show....

i juz bought the nas, so i hope i'm not giving you the wrong advice. i faced the same problem as you juz now, and i use the easy_search(3.7.0.0). you can download it from dlink.com.sg and it's suppose to work only with the 1.04 beta. i jus used it to change the language and it appears to work for me. hope it works for u too.

[richneo]

hmmm...so how to apply chinese fonts??

refer to my steps below

1st use the easy search utility provided in the CD or u can download it from dlink website and enable chinese in dns-323

2nd enable chinese in the regional setttings as shown below

if its now working for you, there is 99% chance that u did not follow the steps above
