I think it's pretty clear that this is a network issue (the bridged connection has to be dropping), since moving to wired ethernet resolves it.
So there's nothing you can do in the NAS to fix it Options include
- fixing the bridged uplink somehow (move the extender closer to the router, try a different extender, switch to 2.4 ghz, ...).
- switching to a different technology (for instance powerline or a mesh router. Or run ethernet and use router B as an AP).
- moving the NAS to router B. Then there will still be issues when accessing large files from router A, but not when you are accessing the NAS from router B.

I don't believe its dropping really, as stated I can move files from RN314 to PC just not the other way around. Also the NIC card I am referring to is wireless.
Wireless adapter can send/recieve
Wireless bridge can only recieve

Then please clarify the network path that works (what PC NIC you are using, what router it is connecting to, etc), and also the network path that fails.
For instance something like PC (ethernet) -> Router B (wireless) -> Router A (ethernet) -> RN314 fails.

It HAS to be the network connection path, since changing to a different path resolves the problem.

PC (wireless) => Router A (wired) => RN314 /=/ Works Small and Large Files
RN314(wired) => Router A (wireless) => PC /=/ Works Small and Large Files
RN314(wired) => Router A (wireless) => Router B(wired) => PC /=/ Works Small and Large Files
PC(wired) => Router B (wireless) => Router A(wired) => RN314 /=/ Works Small Fliles, Does Not Work Large Files
The cutoff for small vs large is approximatly 2GB

This combination suggests that you are getting connection drops when router B transmits a lot of data to router A. Likely shorter file transfers will also fail sometimes, just not as often as longer the longer files transfers do.
Note the connection performance isn't symmetric, because Router A and Router B aren't the same (and router A is higher end).
One test would be to move router B fairly close to router A (perhaps 6-10 feet away in the same room), and try PC(wired) => Router B (wireless) => Router A(wired) => RN314 again. If it passes at closer range, then that confirms that the wifi bridge link is the problem.
Another useful test is to try PC (wired) <=> Router A (wired) <=> RN314 in both directions, using the same cable you use to connect the PC to router B. If that passes, then it rules out the PC NIC and the ethernet cable.
