Readynas NV+ v2-Slow Network Transfer Speed
Hi All, I have gone through pages and pages of forums but are all about specific instances and there are no tutorials or help guides as such that are helpful to me in my situation, so i hope somone...
I understand you have a gigabit router - what I was asking you to do was to look at the LAN connection status in the router, and confirm that both the NAS and the PC were actually negotiating gigabit with wired ethernet.
On WiFi: do not confuse link speed with real throughput. For instance, the 802.11g link speed can reach 54 mbits, but throughput is limited to about 18 mbits. 802.11n also has much lower throughput than the link speed. It is generally best to start with wired performance, and get any issues there resolved before starting on WiFi.
Do you have any ethernet switches or hubs in your home network? Or just the router?
