Hello walkz187,
It may be best to test your connection speed when you connect the NAS straight to the computer and have RAIDar detect your NAS so you will know what IP address you can set on the computer's network settings. For example, when RAIDar detects the NAS with IP address 192.168.168.168, this means that you can set a manual IP address of any number between 192.168.168.0 and 192.168.168.255 except for 192.168.168.168, you may use 192.168.168.5 as one available. Once you have set a manual IP address, you should be able to access your ReadyNAS FrontView and its shares. Test the connection speed.
I also suggest to have firmware version of the NAS updated.
Welcome to the community!

Thanks JennC for your reply.
I tried connecting directly as you suggested and received the same slow writing speed, 7MB/s. Since i placed this help request up i have purchased a second hand readynas RND4000v3. i have tried the same drives in this other NAS and sames speeds as well. I then took out the drives and did a speed test directly from my Mac via a USB 2 adapter and received around 38MB/s write and 44MB/s read on both of my 2 TB drives. so unlikleky a drive issue. so the only conclusion i can come up with is both readyNAS systems are the kinks in the chain, OSX is via the readynas or my settings.
FYI i also tried my Mac book air via WIFI > R6300 roucter > readynas. speeds are also asymetrical around 4.5MB/s write and 20MB/s read. i also have tried different optons on Imac ethernet. no firewall.
its also worth noting error logs on the Ethernet, this was reset and took about 1 hours to accumulate:
Auto Negotiations 3
Bad packets 0
Disconnect 0
False Carrier 3
Idle Errors 510
Link Failures 0
Received Errors 21451
Symbol Errors 1
VLAN tags 0
TCP Retransmits 20
Unrecovered TCP Retransmits 17
20K Received errors over an hour looks pretty high to me.
Did you try a different ethernet cable?
