You will get better performance if all your ethernet devices are connected to a gigabit switch. You can use the 4 lan ports on the WNDR3700 (leaving the WAN port unused), though that only gets you three usable ports (the 4th would connect to your main router). You could also set the WNDR3700 to AP mode and use the WAN connection to connect to your router. What is your main router btw?

New switches are pretty inexpensive, you can find unmanaged gigabit switches in the $20-$50 range in the US. An RN102 can deliver 50 MB/sec write speeds and 70 MB/sec read speeds. Fast ethernet is limited to 10-12 MB/sec.
Of course right now, something else is wrong, since you are seeing only about 2 MB/sec (800 MB in 8 minutes).
YIKES. Its good that it didn't let you do that. Set the MTU to 1500, not 0. 1500 is the default MTU for standard ethernet.

You create a drive letter by right-clicking on the computer icon on the PC and then choosing "map network drive". You enter the network path there, and also can enter a NAS username/password. You can remove the drive later on, but right-clicking on it in "computer".

The leaf adapter is part of ReadyCloud/Remote. You shouldn't be using that on the local LAN. However, it makes sense to temporarily disable that adapter and retest, just to make sure it isn't being used.
