ReadyNas DUO Windows slow performance - unuseable

So are you thinking this is an issue with the WiFi?

It appears like it. If performance on wired was poor, it may have been hardware-related (bad disk, bad NIC, bad chassis, etc.) but the NAS performs as expected, which is a good sign.

Next steps:

1. Check Frontview > Network > Interfaces > Show Errors and post the results:

Network Errors  [Ethernet 1+2]

TX packets	3064838
TX errors	0
TX dropped	0
TX overruns	0
TX carrier	0
RX packets	2044427
RX errors	0
RX dropped	0
RX overruns	0
RX frame	0
Collisions	0

2. Double-check MTU settings:
- NAS should be 1500 (reboot NAS just to be sure)
- Vista/Win7 wireless devices should be 1430

Here's what kind of performance to expect for various types of connections: http://home.bott.ca/webserver/?p=363. You should get 2-3 MB/s for wireless G.

3. If performance is still poor on wifi, try changing ReadyNAS MTU to 1492.

4. If you can, I would recommend borrowing another wifi router to rule out the router as the source of the problem.
