It sounds like your TerraMaster F4-424 NAS might be causing interference with your Wi-Fi network, particularly with your NightHawk RAXE 500. This can sometimes happen if the NAS and router are on the same frequency or too close to each other. Here are a few steps to consider:

Relocate Your NAS and Router: Ensure that your NAS and router are not too close to each other to reduce any potential interference.

Check Frequency Channels: Make sure your NAS and router are not operating on the same frequency channels. You can log into your router’s settings and change the Wi-Fi channel to see if it reduces the interference.

Use Wired Connections: Whenever possible, connect devices to the network via Ethernet cables instead of relying on Wi-Fi, especially for stationary devices like your NAS.

Network Switch Recommendation: A good network switch can help manage traffic better. Consider using a managed switch like the Netgear GS308E or the TP-Link TL-SG108E. These switches provide better control over your network traffic and can help reduce interference.
