Hi Louwin,
Sorry for the late reply.
I have a Mac and it’s very, very slow. BUT, when I access it via my Windows VM it’s very fast!
Sounds like you’re running Windows, so I would say that the problem isn’t the My Book Live.
Are you running 1GB network from your desktop through to your my book live?
If you are running WIFI, it’s possible your signal strength may fluctuate which would affect speeds.
If you want to get advanced, log into your my Book live Dash Board. Then append ssh to the end of the URL. On my PC it looks like this,
http://mybooklive.local/UI/ssh
Click the tick box to enable SSH.
Now you can SSH into your NAS and take a look at what it’s up to.
I suggest using PUTTY if you don’t have a client
You can then SSH into your disk. You can find the IP address within the dash board.
Accept any security certificates, the login is root / welc0me
Once logged in, you can type top
This will show which processes are running and how much CPU, etc is being consumed.
I hope that helps. If you know linux you can play around with the NAS but be careful to not delete or change any configurations you aren’t sure about.
Good luck my friend.
Dono
