<10mbps - Very Slow Performance
I have purchased a ReadyNas Ultra 2 and installed 2x3TB Hitachi 7200 disks (on compatibility list) and updated to latest firmware - all ok. Except I have a TB of data to copy across and it is painful...

All is not lost.
I suggest that you buy a cheap Gigabyte switch and put that in front of the Router. Connect everything to the switch and just let the Router do routing.
Unless you need to manage the switch (port control, RSTP etc), then apart from Jumbo frames there's not much else the switch needs to do.
I like the Netgear GS108t, but it may be a bit more than you need and costs more than any basic switch.
Have a look on the forums for something suitable. Maybe the Netgear GS608 - unmanaged but does JF and costs £41 on Amazon UK.
