Problem reading NAS from Macbook pro

I am having trouble accessing my wireless readynas from my macbook pro.  Files take ages to upload and I am unable to copy files from my mac without it taking ages.  Is this a compatibility issue and how can I solve this?  Lately, I also cannot find my hardisk on my Mac networks either.

    The NAS itself is of course connected with ethernet, and isn't wireless.

     

    Are you also having issues when the macbook pro is using ethernet?  Or only when it is using your home wifi?

      Yes it is connected to ethernet but connection to laptop or mac is wireless. So the issue is when I am using home internet to read my NAS through my Mac. I never had this problem with my laptop.

       

      By Macbok networks I mean that I cannot see my NAS under the network  tab in FINDER.

        Can you specify the IP address of the NAS in Finder?

        Can you try testing the speed using an ethernet connection to the Mac?
