I suggest you get the (free) app Discovery - DNS-SD Browser which will show you every device your network on that zero config network - FireTV, Chromecast, NAS and anything else that offers a service. I am assuming you assigned a name to your NAS (Settings > General > Device Name ) AND gave your network a local domain name (I use “lan” DO NOT use “local”!! The ".local is the Bonjour (Apple)/Avahi (Linux) zero config network (224.0.0.251)). This is a local network - the responses should be a couple of ms. Have you checked your network config? How comfortable are you with Terminal? SSH? It sounds like a network problem that shows up because the NAS sleeps. I’ve had this NAS since 2017 without any trouble until now. Prior to the Unifi network, the Mac and NAS would communicate just fine without disconnecting. UPnP is enabled and I also have the Unifi Auto-Optimize set to ‘off’. I don’t have Plex or any other stream service connected. I’ve used both qTorrent and uTorrent and I get the same connection problems with both. I first noticed the problem because my torrents would disconnect and the client spits back a connection error to me. I run torrents in the background, hence the NAS. I also experience complete disconnect from the internet on my Mac that sometimes happens simultaneously with this NAS problem. I don’t want to do that because of the time it would take me to reconfigure the network, so here I am… My next step is to disconnect the USG and go back to my Netgear Nighthawk to see if the USG is interfering with the network links. Media Streaming is off and Itunes sharing is disabled. A full health check on the WD NAS comes back clean and I can’t determine the problem. I’ve tried mounting the drive to the network via smb//192.168.1.99 and that doesn’t retain connection. I’ve tried switching the NAS to SMB3 (although I don’t own a Windows device) from AFP but that doesn’t seem to work. I’m still able to access the M圜loud portal and all of the contents through my phone just fine over wifi. After restart, the NAS will reappear on the network and I can begin my file transfers (mostly torrents). This will require me to shutdown the mac and restart or wait a significant number of minutes before reestablishing a connection. I only have one Mac, and every 10-30 mins, the NAS will disconnect and disappear from the network. The NAS is on a static IP 192.168.1.99 and all firmware is up to date.įor the life of me, my NAS will not stay connected over the network through my Mac. My Unifi controller software is also on the PI. I have a Mac running High Sierra 10.13.6 (wifi) and a Raspberry pi 3B+ running Pi Hole on a DNS of 192.168.1.100. I have a 6TB My Cloud running on a static IP outside of the DHCP range via Cat5e to a Ubiquity Unifi network (Gigabit USG, 16-port POE switch with an AP-PRO).
