Hello all.
I have intermittent connectivity on my home network across various devices (Windows 7 and 8 pcs, android tablet and phone plus seagate goflex home network attached storage and also a smart tv) therefore I am suspecting something wrong in common with all these, my Virgin Media Superhub.
We have cable TV and internet. The superhub appears to contain a cable modem with a netgear router.
One issue is, when trying to transfer a large amount of data from my windows 8 pc (Via ethernet and homeplug) to the network attached storage via the superhub, I will always get a message saying the NAS is not accessible after an hour or so.
Another is, when playing music wirelessly from a samsung tablet, via the superhub, to an ethernet-connected smart tv, the song will stop and I will have to restart it.
Yet another is, when trying to access the NAS remotely from another pc at a friend's house, seagate share will say that the NAS is offline. this is despite allowing it to be accessed remotely and port-forwarding the superhub. Sometimes it will allow access remotely, but will disconnect after a while.
I have gone into each device's setting and given it a static IP address. Plus I have gone into the superhub settings and reserved each device's IP address via the dhcp pool.
Before I make the assumption it's the superhub and purchase another cable modem/router, I wondered if anyone else had any input...
Regards
Pete
