Problem of RN2120 Slow read solved

The issue of very Slow (unusable) read speed from my RN2120 turned out to be a network setting.

When the ReadyNas is delivered new in the box configured or when the NAS is returned to factory default

The network settings are incorrect in that both IPv4 and IPv6 are enabled.

This caused confusing issues because I could write @ 30mb/sec but only read or say, copy and paste to my desktop

@ around 30-65 kb/sec.  Disabling IPv6 has fixed the problem and both read and write speads now top 50 mb/sec

 

I hope others will find this fix informative
