Also experiencing this issue - dead slow response over SMB with my RN102 since upgrading to 6.4.1. Have now performed a factory reset and am restoring from backup. I'll keep you posted if this sorts it.

Ok thank you for this.
Elsewhere someone has posted a link to enable users to go back to 6.2.5 which for me worked a treat. I haven't had the courage to do this as my business relies on my 102 and while it's slow it does work.

Good luck.

Hi.

but thank you.

I was asking mjcourtney (hoping that he'd tried it before he dove into the factory reset).
Though it clearly hasn't solved your problem, it has worked for most of the other posters - which of course is why the advice is repeated.
