Did you update the Mac OS?
If so, you could try turning off client signing using this guide: https://dpron.com/os-x-10-11-5-slow-smb/
You could also try accessing the NAS share using cifs: instead of smb:

I have the latest slerra 10.12.5, and it is not slow, it just denies registered user access. I will try the cifs connection this weekend. (However, I believe I had problems with that a few years ago.) Is my NAS setup correct? Confused as to why I have Guest ownership and anonymous access set up.

Guest ownership and anonymous access are the default settings.
The setup should be working - but I'm not a Mac owner, so my ability to give good advice on OSX is limited.

I do not see CIFS access protocol in the ReadyNAS Admin page. I still must access as Guest, whether SMB or AFP from my Macbook. Many others are there, but not CIFS. I have SMB, NFS, AFP enabled, and others are there, but my password is being rejected, which i know is correct.
The links seem to point to the old FrontView formatted pages, not those with my 314.
I remain totally baffled.

Sorry that I wasn't more clear.
The suggestion was to try cifs:// in finder (instead of smb:// ), leaving the ReadyNAS configuration alone. CIFS is an old version of SMB that sits between SMB 1 and SMB 2.0
