Read much slower than Write on ReadyNAS 516.
Running NAS Performance Tester Vers 1.7 on default setting (400MB with 5 loops) from my WIN 7 64bit PC over wireless gives these very slow results. Ave Write in MBps 5.65, 4.22, 5.33 and 4.46. Ave R...
The network is secure with "WPA2-PSK[AES]".
The Router is set for Max of 415Mbps on the 2.4GHz which is the connection 99% of the time.
InSSIDer shows that (currently) my network is a Max of 216Mbps.
Netgear Genie shows that (currently) the PC is communicating at 104Mbps (was 144Mbps a little while ago... probably the fastest I have seen).
Very occasionally it will drop down to 59Mbps, but mostly sits at 78Mbps, 104Mbps or 117Mbps.
I have about 20 networks locally, of which 5 others are on the same channel and Win 7 indicates mine between 50% - 70% signal (using Network Meter).
More than 1 other network has a stronger signal than mine (I say that since it MAY be significant).
I am very reluctant to even temporarily make the network unsecured, but might try a variety of other options. (I assume that you wish to eliminate the NAS as the constraining factor).
However having said all the above, my problem is slow reads as apposed to writes on the NAS. (I accept that my wireless speed is not the best around by any means.)
