RN214 Firmware 6.10.1: Slow Transfer Speed

I recently setup an RN214 NAS with Firmware 6.10.1 using 4 WD SATA 8TB Drives in RAID 5 configuration.  I started transferring large movie files onto the NAS via Windows Explorer, but was only getting transfer of 10MBPS.  After reading so of the other discussions, I replaced my old 100MBPS Router with a new 1000MBPS router, but it only increased transfer speeds to 37MBPS.  What can I do to increase my transferspeed?

      Thanks for your assistance, but the problems seems to have fixed itself. My transfer speed has increased to 88mbps to 150mbps range.

        Great.

         

        Though you can't actually get 150 MB/sec on a single gigabit connection - you are likely seeing the effects of caching on anything over ~110 MB/sec.
