Slow share performance on my RN 104 since upgrading to 6.4.0
I upgraded to 6.4.0 two days ago, obviously now wishing I'd checked the forums first as my ReadyNAS was running fine on 6.2.5, but didn't think they'd send out such a poor release. Anyhow, I've s...
Right, and you agree / think that that is below par, right? That is - it was running faster before the upgrade to the 6.4.x software? I was getting 50-60 MB/s consistently (my PC has gigabit, and only has a GS308 between it and the ReadyNAS, not that anything has changed there between before and after the update).

Yes. Last April I measured 62 MB/s read, and 55 MB/s write (and I recall typical speeds of 70 MB/s).
I have provided this info (with logs) to Netgear.
6.4.1-T35 is faster, but still there seems to be a dropoff.

This is perhaps the same / similar issue: I am running 6.4.1-T29 (Beta release, needed to fix other problems that 6.4.0 introduced - namely my backup jobs went dead). T29 fixes the backup issue, but the speed of access is painfully long. I now see VERY long file access times as well as upload times. My file speeds can be in the 800 KB/s range!
I use the following services in my Settings tab:
SMB, AFP, NFS, iTunes, ReadyDLNA, Rsync, UPnP, HTTP, HTTPS, Antivirus
Unused services: FTP, SNMP, SSH
Although these settings are the same as prior to 6.4.0 upgrade, I'm wondering if I need to enable / disable some services to achieve better access speeds. Almost all my access nodes are Windows PCs, I also have a couple of iPads on the WiFi network.
My HW is an Apple Airport Extreme router, followed by a Gb Switch, which connects to all the PCs on a wired GbE connection. The ReadyNAS102 is directly connected to the router on a GbE connection.
