ReadyShare USB to USB transfer painfully slow and unreliable...
I have a R8000 Nighthawk x6 AC3200 (FW V1.0.4.76_10.1.82). When I copy from a USB 3 stick in the USB 3 port, to a USB 3 stick in the USB 2 port, the copying is painfully slow and unreliable. Is there any way to improve speed and reliability?
When copying, my W7x64 computer (wired to the R8000) reports speeds between 20 kB/s up to 2 MB/s, mostly around 500 kB/s.Speeds vary a lot, and the transfer often stalls for long times, to then suddenly burst into action for a short while. Highly irregular. And at infrequent intervals I get notified that the destination of a file just copied could not be accessed, followed by a note that the next file to copy could not be read and do I want to skip it. Trying a few times I can eventually get the files copied.
In the end, I have no idea whether the files and folders were copied correctly. I know that USB 2 is not as fast as USB 3, but the speeds I see are way below what USB 2 should be capable of, so I really would like to improve this,if possible.

Not only is the USB to USB transfer painfully slow, ReadyShare is totally unreliable!
Trying to do compile a java project on the ReadyShare USB3 drive, results in dorp of the network connection. Things start out fine, but then suddenly build fails with the message "Network location cannot be reached". Starting the build again, it might get a bit further (or not) in the process, but then suddenly another "Network location cannot be reached" occurs. Or, sometimes the issue results in some file locks not being released, so on the next build try Ant cannot overwrite the file from the previous build try. *sigh*
This doesn't really work, does it? Has anyone experienced reliable ReadyShare access? Are there any hints on how to improve reliability so I can finally build that project?
USB on routers has not been the greatest in regards to performances or reliability. If you want something that works for storage and file access, get into NAS. It's always online and accessible and its reliable. Performance is WAY better than USB thru a router. I did this years ago and have not looked back.
