ReadyNAS 102 access from Mac slow
I have a ReadyNAS 102 that is connected to my Cisco gigabit network switch using CAT6 cable. I can access the shares rather quickly from any one of several PC machines on the same switch, but am find...
I'm having the same problem scanning the 104 files from my Mac. What's the fix?
6.8.0 has a setting to optimize for OSX, so maybe try that first.
Then try the link above (which tells you how to disable SMB signing on the OSX system).
I am facing an issue vereby access from my Apple Mac computers to the ReadyNAS 102 is extremely slow. The issue seems to have gotten worse after a recent firmware upgrade from v. 6.2.5 to v. 6.8.1 - now it takes 10-15 minutes to list files in a folder on the NAS.
I read NetGear forums, and although this seems to be a known issue experienced by many users, I was not able to find a solution. This thread mentions that firmware 6.8.x makes it possible to optimize ReadyNAS for access from Apple Macs. Please advise how I can enable that.
Many thanks.

Go to system->settings->services in the web ui. Click on SMB and you will see "enhance MacOS". Check that box.
