Remote access to frontview unusably slow - what can be done?

Also, I am just setting up my nas and do have port 80 forwarded (to test - understand security risks and will change later on) and also have port 443 forwarded to the NAS. When I log on remotely (with IP address or with my domain name assigned by TZO - option for linksys router) with HTTP or HTTPS, I connect (I think) but get a blank page and it appears to be stuck in a loop of trying to load something from the server (IE reads "connecting") - but nothing comes up. Suggestions? I suggest you start a new thread on your problem, since having two conversations on this thread will be very confusing.

My apologies and will do so. Thanks for your help. But will have solved the problem and will post the solution here:
My primary router is a Linksys e4200. Unfortunately, it is located in a closet and the house is well shielded so the room where the NAS is has poor wireless access - but is wired on a LAN. I plugged my old WRK54G (all DHCP turned off, acting as a switch and WAP) and connected the NAS to this (in addition to stereo receiver and Sony Bluray player) - all are connected to the ethernet ports. Somehow, the wrk54g was blocking access. When I connected the NAS directly (omitting the WRK54G), everything worked like a charm!

Thanks for the assistance!
