As another experiment, I booted up a virtual machine copy of XP. Got 24Mb/s both ways from a virtual machine running on Win7. That same Win7 machine reports 5.5 write, 29 read.
So at the moment the ONLY OS that has a problem with writing to the NAS after 6.4 is Windows 7.
Mac OS, XP, Win8, Win10 regardless of hardware and even running as virtual machines all have no problems.
Interesting.

Yes. I think it points to something specific on the Win7 system (since my Win7 system doesn't see that slowdown with my RN102). Do you have internet security software or AntiVirus running on the PC?
Though 25 Mb/s is still slow (post factory reset I am seeing ~75 MB/s).

Yes, that's no problem. I'm totally stumped on this one. Just can't see why it's slow from windows 7.
