Trouble shooting slow network speeds on NV

Thanks for the quick response.

I suggest that you try a direct connect of the ReadyNas to the XP desktop, and retest the speed. Also look at the network stats and see if those idle errors, etc also occur with direct connect.

I tried that first, but I have to admit I couldn't get it to work and apparently wasn't understanding some of the posted directions. I probably need some additional guidance on how to make it work. For what it is worth, I haven't seen any other idle errors. Since last night for example, I was doing some work from my wireless laptop and these are the errors I see:
TCP Retransmits 739
Unrecovered TCP Retransmits 122

I would also measure the desktop to laptop transfer speed over wireless. jperf is a good tool for this. WiFi link speeds are very misleading, they often don't correlate to actual throughput. While you are at it, you might also try a wired test (using the lan port on the laptop and disabling the wifi),

I understand the wifi link speed doesn't equate with throughput, but I included it to show that it is connected at N speeds. Anyway, I tested transfers in all directions: desktop wired to/from NV; laptop wireless to/from desktop and NV and provided that data in the chart, where it says vista laptop to/from XP desktop or NV. I just used my own math to come up with the figures.

I am puzzled on the router model - it should be something like MI424WR REV. I Can you check?

Yes, I just left off it was the MI424WR REV I. All the FIOS routers are MI424WR and the diffeence is the REV.
