Incredibly Slow Access problems!

WD Legacy Products My Book Live
1

Hi guys,

Seen similair posts before but had no luck with any soluions, so here goes !!

running a 2Tb mybook live, bought 3 months ago. from the start IVe had very slow access speeds, and lroblems seem to be getting worse. ive got a wired powerline network on cat6 cables and a 1gb switch. everything on the network runs fine except the wd mybook.

at first it seemed to be streaming issues, the odd bit of lag and latency, but now its everything - even the dashboard can take several minutes to come up.

i even installed serviio via ssh to see if it would sort it out but its made no difference.  im accessing via mac running osx  mavericks, but even access via mobile devices struggles to bring up even the dshboard

ive tried turning off remote access, ive checked to ensure ssh was turned off after i installed serviio… if anything the whole system seems to be getting even slower.

any ideas ??!!!
