Without having a proper look it sounds like they are using VLANs to segregate the traffic. Your ethernet outlet in your apartment will be on an access only port on a managed switch in VLAN X. When you login to the AP with your credentials it will also assign you to VLAN X. Now your wireless and LAN devices can talk while your neighbours who may well be connected tot he same hardware (WiFi access point and managed switch) will have their traffic assigned to VLAN Y etc. Fundamentally it's pretty secure. VLANs have been around for many many years and are widely used across most enterprise and campus networks. I'm guessing they have a centralised firewall for the complex which should keep everyone relatively secure at the expense of you not being able to port forward etc easily. Without looking though this is just a guess

Update - rebuild completed @ an average of 35MB/s Started a parity check which is happening at ~120MB/s which is more what I'd expect. Send write is the limiting factor. I'm on a N54L microserver so may check write cache I'd enabled

First step is to get unraid fully set up and working. Don't think about windows until this is done. Just imagine windows doesn't exist.

Have you installed unraid? You then need to create a windows virtual machine - you don't need to format drives to NTFS etc There should be plenty of guides around on creating a windows VM on unraid? Here's one for starters -

Yes

I think you have that the wrong way round. You have a PC You install unraid as the base OS You then install windows/your OS of choice as a VM. You don't install windows as the base OS and then run unraid as a VM on it

you say its improperly IP'd - is it just the subnet thats wrong? or is it getting a 169.254.x.x address? Whats weird is that the USB NIC's arn't working either suggesting its either a config setting or the remote end thats playing up

Sounds stupid - but have you tried a different cable or port on your switch/router? Id USB NIC's also arn't working this would be my first port of call

Hi All Pulled a 500GB HDD from the array yesterday and replaced with a new 4TB WD Red. I followed the parity swap procedure (old parity was a 3TB red). It copied the parity over to the new 4TB and is now rebuilding the array with the old 3TB taking place of the 500GB I pulled. Rebuild speed seems very slow though and seems to be maxing out at 30MB/s which seems pretty slow to me. Diagnostic report attached Thanks nas-diagnostics-20180817-1346.zip
