Hi guys, if this is the wrong forum, please feel free to move, but since it involves a Fios router I thought I would start here.
Here's the setup, latest version of Fios router, seagate free agent media player hard wired to router. Seagate goflex nas hard wired to router. Seagate external hard drive connected to goflex nas via usb.
This setup has been in place for over a year and worked fine until recently.
I am able to play movies, media files, etc. flawlessly from free agent until....
When I use one of my windows 7 pc laptops to access the goflex nas wirelessly while playing a movie. I found this out when I had my screen saver set to photos which are stored on the goflex nas. When the screen saver kicked in the movie would freeze, 10-30 seconds. This also happens when trying to access files and folders.
The only new items we have introuduced into the mix are an ipad and an iphone, both connected wirelessly. I thought perhaps there was some wireless bottlenecking so I changed the channel on the router, didn't help.
Ironically, I can play a movie on the free agent and stream a movie to my ipad, and both play without freezing. It is as soon as a windows pc wirelessly accesses the goflex nas it freezes.
What makes the situation even more complex is if I play a movie from the external hard drive connected the the nas and access the nas wirelessly it is fine. It seems to be playing a movie and accessing wirelessly to the nas that cause the hiccup.
It hasn't done this before and I've done the usual rebooting, replace network cables, switch ports, etc. but it still happens.
Just hoping for some other trouble shooting ideas, I'm out.
