I could upgrade to a Gbit switch or router if I have to, but I want to understand how that will solve the problem before I spend more money, because in theory it should work perfectly well (though slowly) with a 100Mbit device, but currently isn't working whatsoever.

Not all routers are compatible. Putting a gigabit switch between the router and the NAS and gigabit clients could be a good solution. This way communication between the ethernet devices is done via the switch (though they still receive IP addresses via the router and communicate with the internet and wireless clients via that).
What version of RAIDiator is the unit running? This should show in the Info (far right) column in RAIDar (http://www.readynas.com/downloads)
