ReadyNAS 314 access from Mac extremely slow

Checking for updates didn't do anything for me. So I had to download and then upload myself. At first got an error message then the upload worked. Was able to move up to 6.8 and get the new SMB options. Applied the Enhance MacOS and now we're testing to see if it will make a difference. I appreciate all of the support from everyone. Thank god for this community. Have a great weekend everyone.

I know this post is several months back but we are having a similar problem with slow access to our MAC's with OS Sierra 10.12.6. If anyone can help it would appreciated very much.

Honestly, Even though they logged into my system and applied a "fix" it didn't speed anything up. This NAS has problems with speed and Macs. We are looking to switch from a Netgear NAS altogether because of how slow it is to connect and populate folders, searching them is a nightmare. What a bummer.

I kept hoping that a new OS release would fix the problem. But we're on the latest version (6.8.0) and nothing has changed. We (an all OS X environment) too have to wait sometimes as long as a minute to simply open a directory on the NAS. Now looking at other vendors for a solution.
