Nighthawk MR60 upload to connected Nas is slow
I have a new installation:
A Nighthawk mesh MR60 with 2 satellites. On the main MR60 I connected my synology NAS.
My PC is connected at 300/300 Mb/s speed -> 37/37 MB/s.
When I want to upload a file from wifi laptop to my NAS the speed is max 2 MB/s.
When I do not connect the NAS directly to the MR60 but with a wifi router (4 port gigabit) in between it stays 2 MB/s.
p.s. DHCP server of MR60 is used.
But when I connect to the other wifi router, the max speed is about 20 MBps. 10 times higher!
When I do a speedtest to Internet from the MR60 WIFI, it is 300 down, 40 up, so the wifi does not seem to be the problem.
It seems that from wifi to cable (on the inside of the MR60) the speed is maximalised.
On the download, from NAS to PC:
MR60: max 6 MB/s
Other router: max 19 MB/s
I disconnected the satellites to see if that was the problem, but it stays the same.
Does anybody have a clue what is happening here and how to solve it?
Invested some time in looking for a new driver for my network card.
Found it hidden somewhere.
The update of the driver was the solution.
Strange that Windows itself did not find the new driver, I got it from the microsoft website.

What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What CAT# cables are you using? CAT6 is recommended.
Version: V1.0.6.116_2.0.54
Cat 6 cables.
But it seems like a mismatch between my ethernet adapter in this PC and the MR60 router.
The settings say 300/300, but when I do a speedtest it is actual max 40 Mb/s down.
The other router goes up to 200 Mb/s.
Phones, tablets and even another PC do not show this problem.
Can it be that my ethernet adapter does not work well with wifi6 (mesh)?
It is a Broadcom 802.11
