Okay results in and as i thought, not good.
This is through the switch, I will try another one direct connected to router and switch the cable out for a different one and reply back
Well this could be the answer but is there anyway to verify this? I will try tonight some more of the possible solutions and tests you guys have me. If I canāt find the problem in the end I will ask to change the vero for another one.
In the meantime I am learning a lot from all your responses and a little bit of linux and how to solve networkproblems. So thereās a silver lining
@Tom_Doyle That is right. But I have seen strange behaviors in my life on the networking side.

Okay test 2, directly wired into router. I used a different cable as well for good measure.
Same result exactly.
OK, having restored the fstab from the backup file, OSMC is not playing any files. The blue circle starts spinning, but nothing is started. When I press stop, or any other action on the remote, the system hangs for 3-4 mins before coming back to life. I can still ssh in, but it is horribly slow - the log took quite some time to produceā¦ Any chance you could have a look?
How are you connected to the NAS?
Have you verified the Network speed?
Ethernet cable to the UniFi switch that the NAS is also plugged into - identical setup to what I had with my old Vero 4K. Havenāt tested the speed.
Suggest to have a test with iperf3
Havenāt used it before - what do you want me to run?
Install iperf3 on the Vero with sudo apt-get install iperf3 and on your other system based on that specific system.
Then you can run iperf3 -s on the remote system and iperf3 -c <IP of other system>
The other system is a Synology, so took a while to install. Here is the output:

Again, this is the identical configuration/setup I had with Vero 4K which worked without a hitch.
Ok, clearly shows an issue there. Maybe you want to try to limit to 100 Mbit to check if that helps temporarily
Install ethtool via sudo apt-get install ethtool and then run ethtool -s eth0 speed 100 duplex full autoneg off

That looks OK, now try iperf3 -R -c <IP of other system> to also check the return direction.
Just did.

Ok, not great but at least the box should work roughly now.
I think for long term fix of your Gbit we need @sam_nazarko to review
Thanks for your help. Do you think it is a batch of faulty units or issues with OSMC? I notice several other posters on the forums facing similar issues.
