Folder navigation and file transfer on Apple Mac extremely slow
When accessing the ReadyNAS RN104 from a 2011 MacBook Pro through Finder (whether the app itself or from inside another app's open dialog) it takes an extremely long time to populate a folder or tran...
Hello takesides,
you wrote "I have had the RN104 for nearly a year now and this issue always seems to have been there".
Does this mean you always run firmware level 6.6.0 on the ReadyNAS?
Do you have the Anti Virus service active?

Thanks for the response. No, the unit had an earlier version of firmware installed. I upgraded it to 6.6.0 at a later date in an attempt to resolve this issue. I will try disabling the AV service and see if that improves matters, however wouldn't one expect that to then cause the issue for all clients, regardless of OS type?
Netgear changed AV software in 6.6.1 (last month) anyway, so I think you won't be getting AV updates anymore with 6,6.0
FWIW, there are some issues with the new package, so you might want to pass on 6.6.1 and wait for 6.7.0.
OK, so I will hold off before updating the firmware again - good to know.
Does anyone have any input on the actual issue though?
To summarize:
* the issue only occurs on Mac systems
* the issue occurs using both AFP and SMB shares
* the issue is intermittent
* the issue is not due to wifi/bandwidth issues.
