August 5, 20232 yr For a while now my NAS has been acting up where it will all be working fine for days at time but will then "disappear" from the network. It doesn't power off or anything but it becomes unreachable and no longer appears in the "connected devices" list on my router. I've replaced every ethernet cable and the switch it connects to but it is still happening. Before I start thinking about a new router I want to attempt a cheaper fix by buying a NIC to see if its the onboard NIC on my motherboard that's the issue. It only needs to be a 1gb NIC, compatibility/reliability are my main concern. If someone could recommend one i'd really appreciate it. I could also use some advice on how to migrate my server from the onboard NIC to the new one. Is it any more complicated that powering off the server, installing the NIC, switching the cable and powering on again or is there an extra step? Thanks
