Hi
I have managed to solve the issue, it looked to be an issue with my RJ45 terminations. I put a cable tester on each end and the pinouts where terminated incorrectly using only 6 pins out of 8. This was giving me 100Mb connection. I then re-terminated the connections and tested and the interfaces are now showing 1Gb connection with all 8 pins being used.
Thanks

Is your NAS reporting that it has a 1000Mbit (Gigabit) connection or a 100Mbit one?

EDIT : ok just change port from eth0 to eth1 and my nas card running 1 gbps.

Since you did negotiate the wrong speed at least once, perhaps try a different ethernet cable (or router/switch port). The cable should be at least Cat5e.
It should be possible to get 70 MB/s download and ~35 MB/s upload with RAID-5.
Do you recall what firmware was installed when you first purchased the NAS? There have been adjustments to the low-level volume settings over time. If your volume is very old, starting fresh with a factory reset (restoring data from backup) might improve performance. I did that last spring with my RN102, and it jumped from about 35 MB/s download to 70.

My Nas is connected to the 1G port and NAS reports 1G connection too.

Is readycloud installed on the PC? If so, try disabling the Leaf VPN adapter and see if anything changes.
