dontpanic42: Possibly.
What type of modem router do you have?
Are you using a wireless (b? g? n?), or wired connection?
dontpanic42: I've only dealt briefly with the telecom 2wire business routers, but from various accounts around geekzone, they don't seem too bad.
Is there a firmware update for both the NAS or Router that you could apply?
This is just a guess, but?perhaps?there is an IP conflict?
When the file transfers begin, does the DSL and/or Internet light on the 2wire turn off, or do they stay on, but you still can't access internet?
Does the internet only stop working when the files are being transferred, or does it take a while after the file transfers stop for the internet to come back on?
sbiddle: How is the NAS connected? Wireless or wired?
I'd take a stab and say the issue yould be you simply saturating your wireless connection trying to copy large amounts of data which simply means every device connected wirelessly grinds to a halt.
NzReborn: I'm not to sure about the router its never had a firmware update and I dont know where to get the updates from.

Actually, I'm pretty sure telecom updates the router/modem firmwares from their end automatically.
The computers that are connected via a wired connection, do they also have wireless connected at the same time? I think in some cases if both wired and wireless connections are available at the same time the computer will utilize both to increase?throughput. Can anyone else confirm/deny that that is sometimes the case?
It does indeed sound like a saturation issue.
Maybe you could enable the QoS settings on the router to prioritize Internet traffic.
I'm not entirely sure how that is done, but I would imagine it should be possible.
Perhaps someone with more QoS experience can chime in to expand on the possibility?
nakedmolerat: i think the network is saturated...
new router brother!

Haha yea I'm thinking the same thing.
Btw I live rural and my internet speed is crap in general i dont even hit a megabit when i test on speedtest.net does this makes things worse? or you think its just saturated in general even with the crappy internet lol
